I believe that I've had the yellow sense wire connected to the #1 alternator wire. This seemed to be right as I never had any high voltage problems with my old engine. Tomorrow morning I'll connect the yellow sense wire to the 12v wire to the battery. I have an electric bus controlled by the master switch...that would work though only with the master on. A photo of my original installation is attached. -------- Blue Skies & Tailwinds, Captain Bob Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471239#471239 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc_0014_959.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:52:33 PM PST US Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Re: Advice on intermittent voltage spiking in Jab 3300 From: Rob Turk If you really did have the yellow wire connected to the alternator, then you may have caused damage to the regulator. The alternator outputs ~40V AC and the regulator circuit isn't in any way built for that. Before changing your wiring, I'd recommend you bench check the regulator carefully. If you do not have the necessary equipment for that, buy a new one.
