Aux Batt solenoid on PT
My gen. battery has some kind of load on it, P.O. has disconect on cable.Would
it make sense to seperate the gen battery from the other s completly and
install an altenator on the gen engine?Seems like sometime the batt stays up
sometimes not?Marvin SkaggsBuffalo, Ky. 427161984 PT40--- On Mon 05/28, Rob
