So I used some plywood to insulate the caps and a new choke but when I attached the 45v battery, the same issue happened a sudden hiss and a plume of smoke. Perhaps the wood is damp and needs a few days? Or do we think it's more sinister? If someone would be kind enough to check my wiring, I would be most grateful!
