Ken,
The braided strap at the transmission was not disconnected and is still in place.
The positive cable from the battery is connected directly to the starter ( as Gene Fisher insists) The negative cable was disconnected from the battery ; the other end was not disconnected from the frame. I'm satisfied that it is properly re-connected.
What I DON'T remember is re-connecting the ground cable between the frame and block.
The engine cranks fine- just no start.
David- the battery is good and I charged before re-installing. But just to make sure it wouldn't run down while cranking, I jumped it from my Jeep and had the Jeep engine running. So I had 13+ volts at the coach battery.
Still hoping that engine ground is the culprit. Will know later today.
Thanks to all.
