Engine won't start or Primus - nelsons - 02-28-2011 05:26 Hello, I have a 1994 WB with an 8v92. I have been away for 4 months and just got back this past weekend. I wanted to start the engine so I tried starting the Primus in order to pre-warm the engine due to the cold temperature we've had for a few months. The Primus would not start. I checked the Propane switch, and it was on, the stove was working and so was the refrigerator. I tried to turn it on a few times incase there was and air in the line, but it never started. It there another safety switch for the Primus? I started the engine and the primus before I left and all worked properly. When I try to start the engine it turns very slowly and does not turn fast enough to start. The only thing that I noticed was the "Neutral" light on the transmission panel is on. Does the 1994 Bird have an electric heated for the engine? I saw a switch that is on the right side of the consul that says cold start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Nelson Slinkman 1994 WB Westminster, Md Engine won't start or Primus - mbulriss - 02-28-2011 06:06 Nelson, What readings do you show on the two volt meters on the dash (engine and coach)?

There was only an "start Gen" "LP on/off" and water pump switch. Yes, the switch was "on" to charge both sets of batteries. I am sure the ether tank is empty I have had this bus for 10 years and never used it. The bus only has 31000 miles on it. Thanks for your help.

If charging them does get some cranking power, trying jumping them (if you are a member of Good Sam or other service, it may be worth the call). Even then, if you have one really bad battery, jumping may not help and replacing them may be your next alternative. The gages on the dash really only give you an indication of voltage at the moment and although lookin' good, may not be a good indication of cranking power. Tying you house and engine batteries together with the switch on the dash could get you some cranking power, and heating up the batteries may help (my switch for the battery heat is under the sink in my 91WL). But even those assists may not overcome a bad or weak bank of batteries.

You have asked one of the most dreaded questions on the forum ... what battery is the best?? ... good luck, there are lots of opinions. I've got Interstate, but that is just because it was easy to do. Wait for 24 hours and I'm sure you'll have at least 6 different recommendations. Now I'm not making fun of anyone ... I just know batteries and tires generate lots of responses. Have fun folks.
