Hi Westech. Thank you! In some ways it does behave like a fuel issue. But, why the strange wait light behavior? And would a perfectly funtioning switch fail overnight? T

Hi all. My M1009 was running perfectly. Short wait light, fast, strong starts. It is a 12v conversion per USFS specs (carefullly retained existing 24v system pieces to facilitate restoration down the road and kept two alternators split into isolated systems)--professionally done. Wellman 050...

Good to see another CA member. We do seem to be few and far between, though I'm still new. Good luck on your search.
