After driving my Westy to Middlebury, Vermont area decided to visit a historical site in town. Westy started slow but it started back to the farm. Stopped at another state park and had some lunch. Westy now won't start!! Ugh! I used the aux battery to get it going and got home. Main battery is new. I suspect the alternator is NG. Once again trying to understand the Bentley test procedures on
Pg. 27.18. What is " connect alternator/regulator tester" ?? All I have is my digital ohm meter. Is that what they are saying ?
