Helping a buddy, who is helping his boss out via phone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Type1 in a Split window has a few issues. In this pic, No current into battery when running. 12vdc at yellow/red terminal on top of alternator when running. Is there a external reg on these? Issue 2 is 1amp draw coming from battery with key off and out of ignition, traced to 8ga wire going to Starter. Bus is air bagged and he has no lift or ramps at the moment, if starter solenoid is going bad will it start to draw juice on its own? I suspect he may find other things powered there, once he gets a look at the starter... |

Only the 67 model year split had 12v; 66 and before were 6v systems, so if that one is 12, unless it's a 67 it would not be stock. Also, I think buses had generaters, not alternators until the type 4 engine in 72 - could be wrong about that.
The stock systems all had external regulators, but since that is probably an aftermarket unit, it's hard to say. |
