Generator Won't Start?

[Leroy Eckert]

Mike: One other thing . I just saw a post about a cutoff switch on the genset
battery system. It related to charging the genset battery. It will not charge
if the switch is off. It should not drain either. That is another issue. Try
to get your genset started then go after the battery draun problem.

I put the disconnect switch in becasue the battery will drain
overnight. I was getting tired of unhooking the battery everytime I
parked the bus, thus the disconnect switch. I know there is another
issue with the battery draining but I have no time to fix that
before leaving.
