Chris,
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.....
First things first...
Do the electrical check out that Jon described. If that comes to nothing, then we need to look further.
A squeal, as you noted, is frequently a symptom of a started not dis-engaging when the engine has started.
It means that the solenoid did not pull the drive back from the ring gear.
- This can be a result of 2 things: The crank signal was still present or the engagement system has failed.
If the start signal to the solenoid was locked on, the engine would have tried to start when the ignition switch was in the RUN position.
If it is the engagement system, then the starter needs help and the squeal was either the sprag clutch on the drive gear or the bearing in the started screaming.
You say you had it rebuilt....
Was this a store front parts store rebuild exchange?? Or a real rebuilder?
If the former, take it back. Someone that does not care made a mistake.
If it is the later, still take it back and ask the guy what happened.
As said, if you check out the electrics and they are good, the rebuilder guy will know what happened as soon as he has it on a bench.
Now the really important thing. You found you way her and that is very good. What you may not understand is that everybody here has a not so hidden agenda. That agenda is to see to it that you appreciate both the coach itself and what it can do for you. It is not quite a magic carpet, but it will be close. It is much more than a big new toy because it is your connection to this community of amazingly supportive and helping people. We all are eager to make your coach enjoyable.
To this end, please fill in a more complete sigfile. I work the forum and don't know how to do this from the mailing list end. You have a good start, but if you were to include a geographic reference, that might be a help. This community is so tight, that if you are having a problem that someone in striking range knows how to handle, you might get hands on help. I have been both sides of this. It is comforting.
We have your name (we like to know who we are helping), and that it is a 76 Glenbrook (Was Roell the restorer?) but please include any significant mods or upgrades as they may make a difference. Finally, if we know where you are, we know your climate and someone may be close by. Example, if you were in striking range, I would come by with my spare starter. A started is the only heavy spare I carry.
This community so reminds me of that of the waterment of my own world that I have taken to welcoming new owners that show here with a paraphrase of the greeting you would get there as a new owner or with a new vessel. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.
Welcome Eric and Christine
