Aux Batt solenoid on PT

[marvinskaggs@...>]

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
