...I'am with jb1490! Sounds like the Ballast Resister has Burned-Up and Shorted; or broken Continuity. And/Or the Coil has failed/shorted inside, or broken Continuity. That would explain why it was running, and now, won't even 'Kick-Over'. Disconnect ALL wires going to the Resister and the Coil, and do a 'OHMS Check' of both componants! If there are 'Shorts' the OHMS Reading will be at or near Zero! If the componant IS Burned-Up, the Reading will be at 'Infinity', and this can also be checked with a 'Continuity Test'!

And YES!! Label all the wires for easy replacement. If You do Not know how to use a 'Multi-Meter'; find someone who does!...
