105 ammeter

I think it's a fuel problem.

OK-OK,Have to turn myself in to the pin head cops. The wires WERE switched on the meter. I bet you’re all so surprised! Hard for these old eyes to see down in that hole. That’s my policy, “Make a mistake, and repeat it over and over”. In this case 3 times. Thank you all for Your patience. Roland: I’ll deal with the FUEL problem after the snow wars.

Charlie105 - no problem here, we all have made mistakes. The best way for me to learn something is just as you have here. Make a mistake, fix it, then you always remember! Glad you got it fixed!

watched a guy do the exact same thing while I was working for Sears, he had a customer car in to replace the battery on, right next to the stall I was working in, hand and wrench slipped, same story with ring on finger grounding out.
I remember from seeing him do this, it didn't look like it felt too good....

I take mine off. It's just a gold band and it changes shapes very easily when cranking on a wrench.

Back in the mid 60's I was in electronics school in U.S. Air Force. When training on equipment they required you to remove ALL jewelry. A guy in my class refused to take off his wedding ring because he claimed he made a solemn vow to his wife that he would never remove it. The instructors let it slide while we were diddling in little stuff but when we got into equipment with 400 volts inside they ordered him to take it off. He still refused and they slapped him with an Article 15 and he got busted a pay grade. I don't know what ever happened to him but I wonder if he's still married to her.

On submarines, electricians (I was told by a sparky) work with one hand in their back pocket. Everything around you is a ground! Even he had a hole burned through a finger nail by a 480V contactor he managed to short.
