Hey all really just did not know where else to post this so...
Ok i have a 400w CMH hooked up to a diy howard S51 ballast. Its been working for about six months and now i plug in and the ballast humms but the light does not flicker, turn on or anything. Anyone with ideas? i was thinking the wiring but i just got new wiring to go from the ballast to bulb and still nothing. I dont wanna buy a new kit if i dont have to but if no one has any ideas i just may have to.
Question: If it was the ignitor how would i know? if its the capacitor how would i tell that?
Thanx for any help,

Oh also the bulb still looks good as new so im not looking to much at that.
also,I dont use electric ballast as the 400w for a CMH is around $500. Magnetic runs around 50 to 200 depending on what u get and like now i just need a new ignitor as opposed to a whole ballast.
