thanks S10xGN, you beat me to it.

I wrote a thread a couple months ago about it when I firts installed mine. It took me several days with the miltimeter to figure out why I couldn't get less than 100% DC and finally found out the green wire was to blame. I contacted OGS several times during this time and they are aware of it now.

What happens is that with the green wire connected, any ground that is passed through the braided line or the tank will ground the solenoid and since the controller is designed to cycle the ground, the solenoid simply finds the other ground and stays open all the time untill you get to lower boost again.
