Well here is what I found.
The brown wire that runs from the starter solenoid to the "A" terminal of t=
he voltage regulator had come out but was resting on the terminal screw. I =
re installed that wire and the engine started immediately and seemed to run=
perfectly on a short 2 mile test drive...I didn't have time to do a prolon=
ged drive before loading and departing for Enclave....
Do you think I have it?
