    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I think the average coil on a car etc puts out around 33000v, but little or no amps. Makes your arms tingle if you are stupid enough to pull the HT lead off a plug when engine is going. Yes...I know...I did it...stupid. It was on an old Villiers with hotwired ign & a jammed throttle whilst 'bench' testing.

    Its the amps that kills ya - the electric chair is only 2000v but 8 amps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_chair. Your HT lead current is milliamps.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Yes that's correct - current is indeed measured in amps.

    Who are they? Or am I too young to remember.
    I expect a good slap from the older members of KB
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    You don't know who Dylan Thomas is?
    Where did you go to school?
    Did you get past Form 3?

    Stereophonics - of "Local Boy In The Photograph" ???

    Griff Rhys Jones (sp) - of Alas Smith and Jones, not the Nine O'Clock News and Morons from Outer Space...

    Dylan Thomas was the rabbit on Magic Roundabout.
