Well I did it. I checked the foot controller once again. I shorted it across just as you said. It really didnt make much difference at all. Not that I cud tell. I left it plugged into the machine and I tryed it with out pushin the button. It ran like usual, I pushed the button itself just to make sure, the speed was so close to the same I cudnt tell the difference. I also pushed the button and jumped across as to short it out. No difference at all. I didnt think that last step I tryed wud do anything, cause thats how the controller works. The machine just dont sound right. Not like I'm used to anyway. Specially with the older ones. It just seem as tho it just drags along. So......... What do I try now? I myself am atta loss for ideas.
AlZilla, I do appreciate all your help with this thing and am still open to any ideas you or anyone else may have.
