My son's white 84 is a battery killer. It may be that we just haven't been running it enough. We put in a new radiator yesterday and that went fine. The battery was low again. It's a brand new battery. When the old one failed I checked the voltage with the engine runnging and it was higher than with the engine off. So does that mean it's charging? We'll make an effort to drive the bus every couple days for at least 15 -30minutes at a time and see if the battery holds. Another question, the whole alternator wobbles forward and back some. I don't notice anything like that in the other busses. I didn't see anything different in the brackets. |
