Sorry been busy and have been just jumping it to get it started. We had YES come in a few days ago and was told it could possibly be a voltage drain and that the starter and alternator was pulling from battery while not being operated. So, my only thought would be bad diodes in the alternator causing a parasitic draw. I don't have my amp meter here but I will grab it for tomorrow.
 
The Vacuum switch is mounted directly on the intake manifold so I'm thinking it's getting enough vacuum. But just for the **** of it I took it off and cleaned out the fittings to make sure there wasn't any debris. I also tested continuity between the two connections using a vacuum to pull switch to activate.

I can check for oil in the regulator and see if that is the issue.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
