If an alternator circuit breaker popped or was left popped by a mechanic and you failed to notice does this mean your engine will quit when you lose battery DC? This has happened to me (I'm still on magnetos) and I failed to notice until the radios quit beacuse the ammeter (centre zero) didn't give much indication of a discharge. -- Gerard O Connell Melbourne, Australia VH-LPD (LNC2) """ I do have dual batteries and alternators, without which I would not go dual electronic ignition. The big drawback compared to a magneto is the need for DC power to run them. I have split the systems between the two buses. """
