After the engine did not start again on the gas refueIing stop, and returun to Hayama, I visited Elite Motors in Nagasawa, Misaki. After hearing the current illness, meister Sakamoto immediately install the additional second thick cable from the alternator to the battery - Photo-1 New line from the alternator, very thick compared with the existing thin cable, - Photo-2 Distal charging terminal to the battery.  He taught me how to check if the alternator is really generating the electric power to the battery (to rule out the possibility that the alternator itself is the primary cause) - Photo-3 The electric tester (multimeter) is set, one test end to the alternator's main body and the other end to the outlet terminal. O.K. 14.45 volts, the alternator is proved to be working. I hope this treatment is effective. I return to Hayama retreat through the east side of Miura Peninsula comfortably.
