Sorry I don't know much about that model but is it possible to isolate some of the wiring and test resistance? I just wonder because of the age of the 'doo there might be internal corrosion inside the cabling or connectors.

Yes, spun b is correct. Check all your connections starting at the battery, and grounds, one at the battery, and the ones inside the rear electrical box. Check the positive and ground at the starter. Pull the fuses in that electrical box and look for corrosion. Have you done a load test on that battery?.

Its was the ground near the stator. Screw somehow was out that grounds it. Thx for help!!
