Thanks JMOR. I'll take my new Zareba digital tester out there and check it for voltage at different parts of the fence. Depending upon how it works, I could widen the gap some more on the plug. I'm sure the horses are getting the message that the fence is working with that plug cracking and sparking.
Those pocket testers seem to run about 20-25 bucks. Kinda pricy for probably a neon bulb and a few resistors.
I could try hooking up a ne-2 neon bulb with some 470K resistors in series but I still need something that can be seen from a distance, particularly from the kitchen window. Maybe they have a bigger neon bulb. Guess I'll stop at radido shack.
I pulled apart my zareba lightning arrestor and it is just a couple resistors with about 5 big mov's in series.
Regarding capacitors. I just picked up a new run cap for my A/C fan. 5uf@370 volts. Wholesale cost at local supplier was 91 cents. They also have 7.5, 25, 35, 40 and maybe others that probably don't cost a whole lot more. I believe those are oil filled cans. Would one of these work well for a replacement?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
