No idea and the age of your bus but I wonder if it's time to replace
your battery/starter cables?

For me a bad starter stops turning the engine over...

Had a split window bus once that had enough power to crank the engine
really well but not crank the engine AND fire it, adding water to the
battery fixed that.
