I think Bernica has been taking lessons from RodKnock. I'm surprised no one asked why you have to bleed your capacitor. You only have to do that if you have the big-ass MSD "noise suppression" capacitor wired in (which you should, because it protects and extends the life of your MSD unit). To test your system, disconnect your battery and then hit your horn button. If you hear a momentary "honk," even with your battery disconnected, then your capacitor is holding a charge (as it should) and will potentially contribute to electrolysis over that long winter sleep. Just a little known fact that I thought I'd pass on....
