Thanks for the input Tim. This is getting interesting. I'm told that the
alternator was replaced when the engine was overhauled (less than 5 months
ago). So it's still worth looking at, but may be less of a suspect than I
thought.
Do you think loose or corroded battery connections could cause this
behavior?

Doug, check the voltage output of the alternator. If one of the diodes is
bad,
the voltage will be above 12 volts, but less than 14 volts. Might be time to
have
the alternator looked at. Worn commutator brushes will give the same
symptom.
Good luck.
Tim
