Okay, I had removed D8 due to letting the smoke out when powering up the rig.
I have also removed the Mosfet all together.
I have no continuity on the Cathode (-) to transformer ground. When checking the Anode (+) to transformer ground I get a quick signal of continuity but as quickly as I see it on the meter, it quickly goes away. Maybe this burst of signals comes from down stream being slightly charged from the meter when checking checking either side of the D8 with the meter, D8's diode is removed.

So with mosfet removed there is no continuity on either side of D8. I wonder if I should reinsert a new D8 before reinstalling a new mosfet to see if any smoke will reappear?
