Ground ! yeah, that's what it is. Without it , power has to go, hopefully, from what ever nuts and bolt attach the genny to a bracket, then bolts to the block, then to a bolt for the ground wire, then to the battery. Those are a LOT of 'points' where power may not get through. 1/2 amp here, 1/4 amp there....hmm...never get full charge syndrome. Smart guys run a separate ground from genny/alt to battery post that is ground. 'Old skool' for reliability. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
