Ballast resistor Q's

Yes, it has the cut out at one end. I wired the ballast, coil, and 4 pin ICM based on a diagram I found on here I will double check with it when I run outside in a few minutes. I guess I just assumed it wouldn't run at all if I had messed up any of the wires.

I will borrow a friends voltmeter, or I guess since they are cheap enough just grab another BR to see if it makes a difference until I can grab the tool.

Thanks for the quick response!
