    BSS Add-A-Battery ACR and wiring questions

    In general connecting the ALT to the start bat will be sufficient to change both. For house bats which get used a lot, it might be best to connect the ALT to the house bat. This way once motor starts the ALT provides full charge capacity to house and ACR will connect the start once level is...

    99 5.0 GI Volvo Penta siezed

    The 5.7 will bolt right up. Get a 1995 or newer vortec long block. Carb is probably fine but would check the plugs a few times after running WOT to see if your running lean. Being your 20 ft you won't have a hp plate

    Use a small propane torch (don't light it) and move it around the intake a TB base plate. If it starts to change the idle then you found the leak. Can also use WD40 of other things, even water squiring on places

    alpha 1 gen 1 reverse lock

    Haven't worked on a Alpha in many years, just Bravo for me. You need manual 6 before starting. Without the manual things can go wrong. The list of tools for the lower is called for, but some may be able to use others. Someone like @Bondo or @Bt Doctur can advise better

    wiring slave solenoid

    You said using a 1/2 breaker bar, that is enough to snap the bolt if its stuck. A 3/8 short ratchet would be ok. Best to use the belt to turn it with plugs out Do agree, if your going to rebuild, take it all apart and have the machine shop tank it. Depends on how much your going to do, but...

    alpha 1 gen 1 reverse lock

    Yes, I was talking about the shift cable. Didn't think that would do it but your issue has to be the drive or cable Your not going to damage the shaft seal by putting the 2 halves together even if its off one tooth. As BT mentioned, the drive should slide completely together and not need...

    alpha 1 gen 1 reverse lock

    Normally it would only happen in one direction. Since it was working fine before impeller replacement, this is what I would check first along with if the cable is attached correctly and not broke
