Like the warning you should heed working on something as simple as a CDI,
capacitor discharge ignition. If you get across a 1uF cap at 600Vdc inside
the engine compartment you can make a dent in the inner fender with your
elbow.
Why do they call it the 'funny bone' when it isn't funny when you find it?
Often your reaction to a shock is distructive than the shock but with a PDT
your reaction is death.
