Sub tank rta coil strangeness

[Old Curmudgeon]

I set up a 0.5 coil & once I wicked & put the cap on, I did one last check on the meter & it jumped from about 1.3 - 2.2!

Oh my.

Once I clipped the leads everything read perfectly on the meter until I wicked & capped it, then it went through the roof! Any thoughts?

BTW it's not on my mod, it's staying put on the meter.

The rba airflow post comes loose from the L shaped post on the deck. When that happens it doesn't make a solid connection with the pin on the airflow control base. Happened to me a few weeks back. The post is only connected by two threads to the deck.

Yeah I did notice the airflow post issue but what I realized was, the leads weren't snipped enough. They cleared the cap but still jumped on the meter.

I snipped em' some more & now it's holding steady at .55
