1985 FC 35 Generator start up

[fred89sp]

Some years ago the generator on my SOB would start when I got out the
driver's door. As I did so I added weight to left side of the
driver's seat, pressing down on some sheet metal that pinched through
the generator start wire, connecting it to ground.

I suspect that the start button works by connecting to ground and that
somewhere this wire is being shorted to ground by water. That does
not help find where this is occurring but may be of help in
understanding what is happening.
