There should be a round circuit breaker. That you might have to use a hammer handle to push it in. They work very hard should be where the cable goes through the wall.

Found problem,make a long story short,traced my B11 wire back to the negative side of the house batterys(I boobooed and
reconnected wrong after charging).Engine now turned over but no start,traced that to sticking fuel solenoid,have a new
Larry B's on hand will install today,will test with the hot wire to the starter solenoid removed and a voltmeter attached,if voltage
cycles with key on and off my starter solenoid may be sticking,will go from there.

When ignition key is not in crank/start position, Aux-Start-Solenoid's cable to starter should NOT have 12 volts. If it does have 12v, it would keep starter cranking.

That's the same thing that I said but in different words,mine works as it should,the starter keeps cranking with no aux solenoid signal.

Dave:

As we discussed on the phone:

Delco "S" Sense post should be connected to the "start" battery isolator post, or even better connect directly to the start battery.

Nothing should be connected to the Delco "I" post.

You have the correct isolator to use with a Delco alternator. The isolator "E" Excite post should be connected to something that has +12V only with key on. A typical place to get this would be at the fuel cutoff valve.

This should get your Delco to start charging.

End of story engine starting and charging as it should,when the positive cable from the house batteries was put back on the negative terminal it created a no starting problem,in trying to troubleshoot I disconnected the remote start wires(don't use it
),further troubleshooting found that's where the sense wire for the alternator was connected,reconnected and everything ok.Thanks to all who helped and the many phone calls (the 3 Chucks and Peter),lesson learned,mark the wires,mark the wires.
The sterter solenoid was on it's last leg so had to get it repaired.
