double solenoid diodes?
In past years, it has been standard procedure to wire two diodes into the double solenoids, thus allowing control of both sides of the solenoid with a single spike relay. I was explaining this to someone recently, and wanted to find the documentation on it, but was unable to find it, at first. After some searching, I was able to find this information in the "Tips and Good Practices" manual...from 2006. It is NOT in the corresponding manual for 2007 or 2008.
Is this procedure still necessary? If not, why not? (Have they changed the solenoids to handle back current?) If it is, why has it been removed from the "Tips and Good Practices" manual?

Now, almost a day later, no one has begun interpreting, dissecting, attaching synonyms, re-interpreting or otherwise mangling Dave's wise words in an effort to find the hidden key to the game. I smell a conspiracy! - petek [more]
