I have had 2 Stinger bug zappers in the last 2 years and both of them just quit working. I purchased a new one after the first went out. This one, I decided to try and fix it. This large model has two transformers (one for each bulb). As far as I can tell it has no ballast but there is a large transformer that is attached to both screens. there is a small glass bulb, my guess a starter for each bulb. The black at the bulb connection is 120v (both of them). Checking between the (?) starter wires when the black wire is connected to the bulb port is 15 ac volts. The bulb does not light and the starter does nothing.
The bulbs are new. The starter is from an F4 starter canister (removed). Don't know what the transformers should be putting out? Or they may be ballast but they don't look like it.
Any help out there. Hate to buy another if they only last one season but really need them. Live near a large lake.
If you need I can send a wiring schematic. It makes this post too long.
Thanks
