Thank you, someone had mentioned that the override switch may have something to do with using the engine bay start switch and I thought maybe there was a procedure to follow for the cockpit switch to work. Did all Detroits have this override switch or only the models with the DDEC? The plate on the engine indicates the motor was actually manufactured in 1984. I'm thinking there is probably a bad ground because I tested the volts at the starter and got the same 12.57 volts there. I'll check that next.
Could this be related? I noticed the "DC Ampheres" guage above the drivers seat reading very low around 2-5 amps. I'm assuming this indicates the DC output of the alternator when the Detroit is running, does anyone know what this guage measures?
