[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 136770, member: 3149"] It could potentially just be an old battery that's not getting to the required voltage, assuming you are using the rechargeable pack, and not fresh alkalines. Or a fault with the coil. Anyway, if your mate gets it sorted and thinks he needs a new battery I've made up some lightweight NiMH packs, of a higher capacity than the original ones. These are the plug in style as used on the earlier XT17000, Goldstriker and early Musketeer & Sovereigns. The later spring contact style works fine as long as your battery door still grips. Very easy to convert a spring style control box to accept the plug in style battery.
