And press the pedal and turn the pot up and see if you move. The potentiometer is only $3 FROM RADIO SHACK. If it is the problem you will have to buy a new one. If your not good with soldering as it has quite a few resisters and such I would recommend getting a whole new pot box.

Also is your solenoid clicking when you press the pedal?
Thanks, TrollHole..it was the pot box...and I went to radio shack and bought a 10k potentiometer..Took the pot box apart & Found the 2 wires broken off.

have solder back on and it works!!!
