Scott,
We talked yesterday about a problem I have with subject kit.
When I did the smoke test(before installing it in the K1)I did get 12
volts on the Digital VOM.  I then tried to remove the batteries and
found one batt to be too hot to handle.  Out of curiosity I remeasured
the voltage and got 11 volts.  When the battery in question cooled
down I removed it and noted it's casing was separated near the bottom
of the batt.
My first thought was that I had installed the diode improperly, thus
my call to you.
There is no rush to get this done.  If you like I could remove the
switch, diode and wiring harness and send all to you to examine.
72/73,
John
