Thank you Jeff and Mark (and others who have commented) for the feedback on my alternator voltmeter reading a little low. I'll get my multi-meter out and try and stay clear of the prop and take some readings on the regulator. Mike KSEE _

than that, they you are likely looking at a regulator issue.? The dynamo itself will either work, or it won't. ? -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ? Sent:?Monday, June 13, 2016 at 2:02 PM From:?"Mike Stirewalt via KRnet" To:?krnet at list.krnet.org Cc:?laser147 at juno.com Subject:?KR>

On the weak Alternator Thread: I think I am in the same low voltage situation, What have folks done in the past when that looked like a problem? Thanks N44774 KR2 Austin Texas

Anybody know if the flywheel alternators that are in the Great Plains engines wear out with time? It seems my voltmeter needle is riding around 11 volts instead of 12 with the engine at full RPM. It might be my imagination. If they DO wear out with time, what needs to be replaced? What wears?
