Well,Took the UAV out for a little drive,made a few stops,All Good! Belts start squealing so I shut off the dash air.I go to start genny and nothing,I pull the drawer
out and hit the start and it starts,then stops then woomp,woomp click. I wanted roof air!I never got it.Almost home and I see the light GEN headlights are dimming
air pump is struggling and its starting to get low.I made it home but.I must have somehow shorted the alternator output with the back and forth on the 2 start switches and the pump relay on the gennny.I don't know so I am going to rip off the alternator and get it on the bench check at the local parts store.If its bad I wonder how easy it will be for the Dumas to cross check and get me one in.Should be comical at best!!!
