???????? Shirley AWG stands for "American Wire Gauge"? so the wire gauge is the wire gauge. Do you mean the the Marine industry uses a larger wire gauge than the automotive industry? It is also perfectly acceptable to solder the end of the crimped wire. This reduces the likelyhood of corrosion...

Apparently it was the regulator playing up. Bit of a bum, coz it was only replaced about 6 months ago - lets hope this one lasts longer.

ian I would guess (but it is a guess) that turning on the ignition would "reset" the timer. I think they time from when the ignition is "off".

A bit late coming into this thread, but for others - consider using a heated rear window timer. In the UK, Vehicle wiring products do one (pn GLR10) for £11.02 which has a 10 minute timer built into it.

I have replaced both the regulator and the diode pack about 4 months ago. This time I will leave it to the "expert". Mite even opt for a more modern higher current Alt if it needs replacing. I think this one is 45A.

i think so too. Am gonna remove it (again) and get it checked (again) :D:D.

reet folks... injun off Batt - 12.42V Energiser contact - 0.00V Power output - 12.42V injun off/ Ign on (No warning light on :o) Batt - 12.42V Energiser contact - 11.81V Power output - 12.38V Engine on Batt - 12.23V Energiser contact - 11.78V Power output 12.18V Grounding Engine - No...

It is true that when it hasnt been used for a day or so, the warning light comes on, and goes out when the engine is running. The Voltmeter reads just above halfway (no scale), If, however, I turn on a load, the voltmeter drops fairly quickly as if the Alternator is not charging. If I then turn...

Battery volts is low (running motor at night from West Meon to home without charging). - about 12V. voltage at end of small wire = batt volts. Will check heavy cables, but think its the same with ign on, but engine not running.

sorry - two well to be precise - three - it has one exciter wire and two to the output terminal (just doubling up on capacity).

Calling all yo automotive electricians. I have a basic understanding of how an alternator works...... Voltage supplied via Warning lamp which energises the system. The alternator induces an AC voltage which is rectified and compared to the supplied voltage, but at an increased current. This is...

Merlin motorsport - but in the UK.

pics?

My understanding on this is that Anodising will, to a small degree chemically harden the surface as well as giving a protective finish. Although I personally like the surface of powder coating, which with a thicker layer will give slightly more resistance with chipping, I have also heard stories...

is it just a standard ticket - or are there specials for "display" motors? - how are you guys going?

I have someone local to me - or might know someone in Woking, but just realised that isnt local :(..

wot he said^^^^^^ :D

hey Marcus - you could have chosen this one at least ;) YouTube - ‪Video Mini-Z Onboard Copa GT40 Iwavermania‬‎
