Here's the background. I fired up the carfor the first time a few day's ago and noticed the alt was NOT charging. I pulled the engine and removed the paint between the bracket and the alt and the fan housing to the case. Checked it with ohm meter and all was good.
I got the engine to fire today and at idle there is no charging going on. During the 2500RPM cam break in there wasw 13.65v After the break in, at idle, the light on the dash was on and there was no charging. I searched the archives and noticed Sir andy had the same issue and there was mention of a diode prob.. Could I have fried a diode when there was no ground return on the first fire up??? Thank's, Keith |
