A quick update to any who have been following the voodoo'd bus thread...
Well, I ran the thing about 60 miles each way for a total 2-day trip of 120 miles over the weekend. 70 east out here in Maryland is a -straight- shot, and did the ole italian tune up on her. Going 90+ MPH in a old bus is scarier then doing it on an old harley. Regardless, it seems to idle pretty good now, but the starting problem is not resolved. It does, however, start RIGHT up with a jump from a spare battery I keep on the other side of the engine tin. Battery voltage is 12.6 before starting, and 13.8 or so when running. I think I just may have an alternator or regulator problem.
Any suggestions on how to isolate one or the other?
On an interesting random coincidence side note, my clutch cable gave out as soon as I pulled into the driveway. Amazing that after stop-and-go for an hour on rt 29, it gives out when I try to pull it into the garage!
Happy Easter--
