Update - I was able to get the capacitors soldered in last night in a similar fashion to the picture I posted before.

The first attempt at turning on the lights from a cold start (i.e. light had not yet been on that day) took two tries, which is down from the 4 to 5 it took before. I got gas which took about 10 minutes, after which they fired up on first try (which they usually did before).

So not 100% yet, but it is a marked improvement. I don't know how long it takes to charge the 4700 microfarad 35v capacitor I used, so after that initial firing I am hoping they will have gained the charge needed to fire on the first attempt every time.

I will post some more results after a few more days
