Re: TV Antenna
Thank you all for the response. Some very good ideas. However I suspect that the problem might be in the antenna booster itself. This problem happened with the coach sitting in one place and it had been giving ok reception with a signal strength high of 55. Now just a signal that varies from 30 to 50 and the reception follows the signal, good to bad then back to good. And it is constant, and does not change regardless of where the antenna is pointed. I should amend that, it does go up when it sees a stronger signal but the constant oscillation does not stop. Thanks again for all the great ideas.

TV Antenna
The signal for the TV continues to continually go up and then down. This makes it difficult to tune in any channel. Better with booster off but the signal is too low then.

The ballast resister is in the circuit to drop the voltage from the battery voltage of 12 volts to 9 volts. That is why it burns up the points when you jumper the ballast resistor.It can cause the engine to no start if the circuit is open and the points have no voltage.

Re: 1990 Southwind motorhome won't keep running
PS a fuel injected engine does not have an accelerator pump to shoot fuel with the engine off and the throttle is moved. Sorry

Re: 1990 Southwind motorhome won't keep running
If the coach runs with the jumpers on and trys to die when they are removed the answer is obvious. You are not supplying the coach with at least 10 volts to run on. What is causing that? More likely the alternator than the battery since it should run on the alternator after the engine starts. However the battery could be damaged due to the defective alternator. There is a simple test to check to see if there is anything draining the battery when all switches are off. Remove the positive cable and touch it to the positive battery post and see if there is a spark(it might be hard to see in bright light). There should be nothing that draws enough current as to make a spark. If there is one you may be able to locate the draw by removing fuses one at a time. I hope this helps you with your problem. Good luck.
