Three questions:
1. Twice this year (to my knowledge) our bus has failed to start after a long and/or hot drive. It acts like a solenoid issue; there is nothing but a loud click when you turn the key to "start," but the click is clearly located somewhere up in the dashboard. There is no click coming from the starter/solenoid. After the bus sits for 30-45 minutes, then it will crank and start. This is a Chevy (?) V-8 truck motor, and the starter & solenoid are located between the block and the exhaust manifold -- not a very cool location. And not an easy place to remove/replace the starter. Anybody have experience with this type of problem? Advice?
2. All year long we've had problems getting both timing displays to work. We're getting closer -- both were working at Truckee. BUT, then we couldn't get the PA to work. It seemed like it was an either-or situation. Anybody know how the two are linked? Do they share a power supply? Again, advice please.
3. Anybody know for certain what has happened to the club's decible meter?
