Switching wires is, indeed, all there is left to do. Unfortunately, I don't have the crab cap that would make that so easy. I have the stock rabbit ears cap the means changing one wire means changing them all as far as I know. If I don't get any better ideas that's what I'll have to do. All wires are just brand new and were replaced in post #31.

I did try a new coil. It didn't help any.
