1st Pulse Start Metal Halide Ballast...
The Schematic with the kit looks like this:http://i.imgur.com/d6Sw9.jpg
The Ignitor for the kit actually has TWO white wires, so I've wired it like this; the second White going to Neutral on the Cords Plug:http://i.imgur.com/1z6Np.jpg
The Modified Schematic for further clarity:http://i.imgur.com/2ZwbV.jpg
Am I doing this right?
First Pulse Start MH Ballast I've dealt with

Finally got a hold of a warm body at the Manufacturer...
They say cap off the second white wire on the ignitor... "it doesn't need to go anywhere", without pointing out the inherent danger.:chainsaw::chainsaw::S4::wtf3::
A comment from another forum pointed out that
"NO!! The starter is on the secondary side of the ballast. You NEVER hook secondary to primary. That's a great way to inject 2500 volts into your house wiring."
So I'm hooked up for 240V... going to remove and cap the extra white wire from the ignitor.
A little tenuous at this point though...
Any way to check out the set up before taking it live, Multi-Meter maybe?
Other thoughts before mounting, hanging, and energizing?

Right On!
It sure as hell does!
That's why I've had this ballast kit for a week now and am still evaluating...
Any experience here?
