I intend on jumpering the solenoid again this evening and some further checking.
Anyone have an easy idea on how to rule out the starter as bad? The bus is positioned and low where I cannot get under it.
I am also only 45 min from Jeff’s but the coach cannot be towed out of my property so I need to eliminate what I can and try to get it moving.
Once it is running, I assume I will have the 30 second shut-down issue again anyway which from some reading may be the coolant sensor; does anyone know how I can test it to see or bypass it?

Having a spare generator or generator motor may be comforting, but given normal life spans of our generators it is like wearing two belts and two suspenders at the same time.
It is reasonable to expect 30,000 to 40,000 hours from our generators so except for unusual circumstances the average PC member will only ever have issues if the generator has not been maintained.

We feel your pain. I hope the shop fixed the damage. In our nine county area we have emissions tests for cars and diesels. Taking in an older car, i just cringe. They tell you to get out of your car and go to waiting room. I tell them come find me if they have questions. I still watch them suffer trying to figure out where a 1984 Lincoln Mark VII gas flap release is. Or how to open a hood on a 1989 Jag XZj6 sedan

On the chassis side Michael, make sure the rear toggle switch for rear start is in the right position. Work it a few times, they’re trouble.
You must have a house disconnect somewhere and I assume it’s in the right position.

Your home state licensing requirements are honored by all other states.
Where you might get in trouble is having a Montana LLC (a business) own your coach while your driver license is from another state. You may have to figure out the story you are going to tell a cop to explain why you are driving a business owned coach, and for what purpose.
Everybody has an opinion on how to explain their way out of being perceived as either a commercial operator, or how they are leasing or renting the coach from the LLC. But some cops know exactly why there are MT plates, they know that is a means of tax evasion, and if they want to jerk your chain they will.

Update:
I talked to a tech support guy at Headhunter pumps and decided to change the pressure gauge. He also said you do not have to have a headhunter pump to run a Headhunter toilet as long as you have adequate pressure and volume from whatever source you have, be it 12V or 120V pumps.
Finally went to Home Depot (2hrs away) and bought a new pressure gauge for the pump. Pressure now reads 40psi on/ 60psi off on the Headhunter pump. What it should be reading! The pressure coming out of the faucet to supply the bus is reading 46 psi.
I still have not figured out the city water situation as there are no valves to turn except to fill the fresh water tanks. The water from the faucet pressurizes the system but is only used if the Headhunter pump is turned off, but does not flush the toilet.

Maybe I should modify the Topic to Aviation and Car’s, may be fun. Jon?

Ron,
Welcome to the Liberty Coach family! I’m working hard to be the oldest but I do have a little ways to go. At 62, I’m probably towards the upper end (just guessing). Jon and Tom might have me beat but they look younger every time I see’m!
Safe travels,
Mark

Really cool!!
I don’t really understand why Architectural Digest would have made such a statement, but not so long ago they stated in an article that the two most beautiful things ever created by man were the E-Type Jaguar and the Learjet.
I instructed in the Lear 35 and 31A for FlightSafety International for five years and I’m fortunate enough to own an E-Type Jag and I couldn’t agree more. I too, like Tom, have owned a number of airplanes, but not as many as Tom, from J-3 Cubs, Luscombes, a Rearwin Cloudster, a Cessna Airmaster, and others. Right now I have a 1946 Globe Swift, a 1950 Cessna 195 and a 1969 Cessna 310P and I think all three, and the little Jag, are a “until death do us part”, part of my life. I consider myself to be quite a blessed individual and am very thankful. Also, I couldn’t have been more fortunate in the family situation that I have now with real team player for a partner.
The “Good ‘Ole Days” for me, are right now. Even with all that is going on around us.

Kind of.
My 8V92 had a pyro for each bank and having been flying turboed planes I knew there were limits. But my plane (P210N) did not have a specified TIT (tubo inlet temperature which is akin to pyro temps) which was unusual because every other gauge had limits, marked on the gauge plus listed in the limits section of the book.
So I called Cessna and was fortunate enough to speak to the test engineer who did the flight testing of the plane. He said before he answered my question as to the limit he needed to go to the files and make sure he had the correct answer. When we spoke again he said on my model and serial number plane there was no specified limit because there was no power setting or mixture setting combination that would meet or exceed the turbo limits.
So when I got my 8V92 equipped coach with no limits marked on any gauges and none in the owner’s manual I started crawling all over the Detroit web site, engine manuals, service manuals, etc. and found two things. No limits were marked on the gauges because as a DDEC equipped coach the ECM handled those limits. If any limits were about to be exceeded the ECM would derate the engine or stop the engine and apparently Detroit and Prevost did not want drivers worrying about looking at gauges. The ECM on coaches I am familiar with does not use pyro information for any purpose. Later versions of Series 60 might for the emissions systems but I don’t know that for sure.
In all my investigation I could not find a single word about pyro limits.

From my NAPA jobber days R-12 and 134 A are not compatible with each other.
We made a lot of hoses when shops were doing change over back in the day.
