WhaLa, alternator started outputting about 15 volts. Too high, but a few turns of the LR3C regulator screw has it now outputing 14.2 volts. And as an added bonus, after letting the engine warm up, I started slowing adjusting the Mixture Control up and down. Guess what, the Mixture Indicator on the EM2 slowly tracked those changes in a smooth manner. Much more so than last weekend when running on battery only. Engine still idles higher than it should but now I'll go back to actual tuning tasks. Progress is good. -- Mike ================================ Mike Fontenot Apex Consulting & Services LLC Lakewood, Colorado 303 / 731-6645 mikef AT apexconsultingservices DOT com ================================ --0016360e3b3c6513a7046a0eec02 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Update:
