I really appreciate your taking the time to look. This is what makes a board a great board; members assisting other members.
I hope this is the fix also buy then something else is likely to break. I do not think sitting for 5 months in various stages of engine dismemberment did the sundry engine add-ons any good. My usual MTBF is 2 weeks to the fault then 2 -4 weeks for the repair/s.
