G'day,
I am working on the start system on the Kingsley with the Caddy 500. As noted earlier I will be replacing the cable that connects
the rear house battery with the front house battery. I'll replace the whole section that goes from the boost solenoid to the
connection behind the driver side panel.
The Kingsley had two start batteries wired in parallel wired directly to the starter solenoid, it did not have a deep cycle battery.
The battery ground was wired directly to the block.
When I turned the ignition switch to the start position the starter labored to turn the engine over with two start batteries!
I cleaned all the connections and it made a bit of difference still the starter labored. When compared to the 455 Olds in the Avion
the Caddy starter is lame. I've removed the starter and was going to take it to be rebuilt, however, that might be a waste of money
as it might not be the correct starter for a Caddy 500.
I'd appreciate it if those of you who have Caddy 500's in their coach please advise what starter you are running and where you got
it.
Oh yeah, I have printed out ALL of Gene Fisher's articles on this subject from the GMCWS Website and will incorporate his
suggestions.
Regards,
Rob M.
