Default Flash copper connection problem

Hey, I just got my Flash Copper kit, got it all set up and when I hooked up the parts and turned on my cc/cv I coulnt get any amps. I thought it was the connection so I re-wired the parts and still no amps. The volts were fine, I could adjust no problem but my amps stayed at 0.0 no matter what I tried.

When I put the part in copy chrome and tried it, I had amps... Wired the same, copper wire with copper cross bar.

My part is a water pump cover on my dirtbike, zinc die cast I think.

The hook up is the same as copy chrome right, Positive to plates and Neg to part?

Thanks for any help....


Bryan

Well.... Thanks to Tech Support, I found my problem! The part is die cast aluminum and I had to Zincate first.

All is good!
