I've bought a brand new battery and a week later I'm having trouble starting the bus. It just doesn't want to fire up...eventually with the help of my leisure battery connected to the main battery I get the engine running. So the battery is not charging itself up. I'm going to buy a volt meter thingy tomorrow and test the battery.
I've had a look at my alternator and there is a thin wire coming from the rear of the alternator going to the battery shelf area...it was once connected to a split charge system thingy but I disconnected it because it looked really dodgy. Now it's not connected to anything. Is that wire important?
I've looked through some answers on here and all I can see are 'glow plug' ...what the
'f' is a glow plug. Aren't glow plugs used for disels? My dashboard also has a water level /temp guage even though my bus is Aircooled? Should I just ignor the red light?What I want to do is take some pictures of my engine and then you (helpful lot) can tell me what type parts I have. I wouldn't have the faintest idea what type of coil I've got or need to get...or what type of distributor etc. I'll take some pictures of the wire that leads to nowhere.
Thanks,
Avant-garde.
