After you unpacked it from storage, you did check for any Bees or Hornets nests - right?
Many insects don't like being woke up with 120 volts shooting thru their hive...
On a lighter note, Cobra 2000's have a ground loop noise problem - once disassembled - even Johnny 5 can't reassemble it without some tweak or cleaning method to obtain the original GROUND PLANE effects new assemblies offer (low noise and no loop currents and their eddys') might want to double check ALL your hardware, make sure it's clean and tight to the surfaces it's mounted to - Screws and Bolts - Nuts and the Hardware Whatnots' that all go with it.
