Bill, you've got everyone's attention now, let's see if we understand the situation, and maybe you can answer some questions that can help folks solve the running problem
1 you have a 62 burb with a 12V system and generator
2 it won't start or run
3 when you attach a battery pack, it starts and runs fine
4 when you take the pack off it stops
1 is it a 6 or V8, and is the wiring original in decent condition? does it have an ammeter or idiot light?
2 did the truck work until suddenly this problem developed, or are you trying to get it working for the first time [or after sitting a long time] and does it crank at all without the jump pack?
3 how, exactly, are you connecting the jump pack? directly to the cable ends on the battery?
4 the only reason it would die when you remove the jump pack is you have taken the battery out of the circuit, and if it won't continue to run w/ no battery, then the generator isn't generating, or the regulator is bad, but a bad generator shouldn't prevent it from starting
your turn
Bill
