Heavy rust was removed with wire wheel on my angle grinder. Sanded the entire compartment with electric DA sander to give everything a key for new paint. Vacuum to clean it up and wiped down everything really good with acetone.
Put on a coat of Defender rust converter on all the rusty spots, you can buy Corroseal at the local big box store and it’s pretty much the same as the Defender. we had to buy Defender for a project at work and you had to order minimum of 4 gallons so we had lots left over.
After the defender I coated everything with Rustoleum Professional paint in equipment grey.

Battery tray was removed, cleaned with wire wheel. Same process as the bay, Defender on the rust and then painted with Rustoleum Engine paint silver. Left over from painting my Detroit 6v.

I am having an alternator voltage fluctuation. On VMSpc I am showing between 12.8v and 13.1v at idle. When I am driving with the generator running, I am showing 14.1v to 14.6v. Generator off it 13.8-14.1.
I noticed the grounding wire seems a bit frayed where it connects to the alternator. I am going remove the air intake piping and test alternator voltage.
Any other suggestions? I apologize if this isn't the right category.
Thanks,

I have coach #145 and am getting around to fixing the starter circuit. Here's what I have. Previous owner said it would never start from the front since he had it. He always started it from the rear. It had quite a few other things that needed addressed first, so I am now ready to dive into this. It has since quit starting from the rear all together. It will start on the starter so no problem there. I put up photos to show the rear. The red/ black wire that's disconnected from the terminal so far is the culprit. It goes to the solenoid, but has no continuity. My question is where does it go between terminal block and solenoid? That's where I'm losing power from rear start switch. I'm leaning towards the front start problem being in the neutral safety switch from some checking before it completely stopped.

Also what configuration does the rear switches need to be in for the front to work?

Thanks,

I tried searching here and, in the manuals, and can't find the info I need.
I was tightening all the loose battery connections and the big fuse on the ground side crumbled in my hands.
Does anyone know the amperage rating on these? I will probably replace both and get a couple spares...

Next project will be the Primus system, lol! Wish me luck!
