Freezing rain and another 8 inches of snow coming.

You should have good boating this year - in June or July when the ice melts.

You guys should come out. I can give you a car to drive while you are here.
And you know, my left bolster is pretty snug and has a grab handle right in front. A skinny guy like you wouldn't pop out.

You could bring my dog.

And that other one, I guess.

All I would need is four or five 30 packs. Unless you are staying all week.

I even have a smoking patio.

Yes guys, there are two orange wires from one post (on each of my alternators). The post is the BATT (output) post. I just didn't take enough pix when I disassembled the engines. So I actually don't remember where they hooked up at. Bob, you are probably right that they go to battery somehow maybe by way of the hot side of the slave solenoid.

Did you look at the pics of the backs of the alts I posted the link to?

Yeah I did Paul. It's just odd that there are 2 wires from that same BATT output post on each alternators.

But if you review the places the batt terminal is connected to on different wiring setups it may ring a bell....

In 10 minutes they close the roads. Level 3 snow emergency. I hope that everybody has what they need for french toast.

I keep forgetting to ask. What is that post labeled?

[Ratickle]

If you do a search on Alternator 101 you'll find all kinds of help on alt wiring. Here's one that show and explains some things.

Thanks Paul. It's labelled BATT.

[Ratickle]

No positive or negative after BATT?

[fund razor]

I would have assumed that BATT meant positive.

I would have assumed that BATT meant positive.

Me too. But now it's probably made in china so it could be a reference to a flying mammal spelled wrong....

It was more like a foot of wet snow yesterday. -2 this morning. More snow coming Monday.

Over 80 inches of snow this year. More than Anchorage, Green Bay, Minneapolis, and Denver.

25 mornings below 0.

Yo Bob.
