Started it Monday a little before lunch, then back home for computer work. Sim called asking for help, so the oil has to drip for a bit <g>. At least got it started <g>.

…alternator field wire.
The plug on the back of the alternator is the T style plug. If removing power to the wire doesn’t shut down the B-lead then how else would you disconnect it from the bus without a contactor?
