150 Fast Strike in SLOW mode, need work done!

It can get expensive buying parts not knowing what is causing the problem. I think it is better to pay someone to figure it out unless you are lucky enough to get the right part on the first try. I figured that out the hard way .

Reelworld, that is some really good advice, and I agree with you very much so. However, I have this impatience thing going on, lol, and a mistrust thing too. I like to know that it is done right. I am fortunate to be able to afford this hobby. I am just looking at it as a learning experience. I make sure that Im pretty sure..lol..that the parts I order are the parts I need before I order them. I have checked everything that can set SLOW mode on my motor. The powerpack is all that is left.

sounds like you have it all figured out by your self so no help is needed.you can spend a thousand bucks real quick by guessing.

I understand not trusting . I wish I had the test equipment to test power pack , stator, timer base and all the rest of the electronics . the right test equipment to test with cost all most as much as replacing all the electronic parts.

Ok guys, I figured it out! Well, after the installation of a $200 part, that did not solve the problem, I went to the diode that someone on iboats suggested. Turns out a 50 cent diode went bad on me. I actually didnt really want it to be the diode because that involved surgical precision and cutting into a stock harness with risk of severing wires. Once I got to the diode, I fisrt tested it to see if it was in fact directing traffic in one direction as it was supposed to. But, it was not, it had continuity both ways. So I clipped it and the SLOW mode stopped. I went up to radio shack to get a new one and soldered it in, and shes running like a scalded dog! Here's some pics.
