    Newbie needs help with a small part...

    If you are talking about part 9 in the figure posted above my post mine was rotted as well.I simply removed it and replaced it with two small sections of hose.It worked,though I did keep the rubber piece.I tried to figure out if it was more than a connection,and did not seem to be.

    gen 1 light not coming on.

    Run a new ground(with out removing the old one)from the drivers alternator to the frame(8 gauge wire,ends,and a self tapping screw).Run a new one from the negative on the front battery to the frame as well.This solved my alternator issues.
