Got the engine all buttoned up and thought "Cr@p! I never tested the thermistors!".
@harmonyards and @gunrunnerjohn...2 questions I'm hoping you might offer your input on...
1. In situations like with this engine (where the smoke unit was pretty well cooked), do thermistors have a high chance of failure? I didn't test them but will open up the smoke unit again and at least check them. I think I can test them using my soldering iron as a heat source.
2. How close should the thermistor be to the resistors? Are we talking a 1/4 inch? A 1/8 inch? My guess is, the further the thermistors are from the resistors, the hotter the resistors will get (assuming the thermistors work the way I think they work).
Should've asked these questions earlier.....excitement over took me putting the engine back together again.
