People who ride Twinkies shouldn't throw bricks at EVOs.
Not throwing bricks at all, just trying to help out a fellow rider. EVO's have been known to eat starter relays, but one a year is pretty bad. My point was there is an issue causing this, more than just normal relay failures.

We just like to pick on the TC. No harm either way and I do appreciate all the help I can get. This case has to be my old starter contacts.

I'm sure that your insight is appreciated. The EVO sarcasm smilie is on backorder, so we just have a little fun with each other.
It's all good man.
