The Skyview update comes with an additional engine diode.
Can anyone tell me why?
The original diode "ES Diode Master" is installed on page 45-07 Revision 4 between the master relay (upper) and the starter relay (lower).
In the Skyview update, page 42D-25, another diode is supplied "ES-00165 Starter Relay Protection Diode." It connects to the starter relay from a new buttsplice in wire WH-K47 (orange).
This is going to be pretty difficult to get to with the engine installed.
What's up with this? A search for "diode" didn't enlighten me. Are newer engine kits being shipped with this extra diode? Is there a later revision than "4" for existing page 45-07 showing this diode to be added?
