Subject: | Re: IO-240B With the 15V 60A TCM alternator |
At 450hrs the drive coupling on my alternator has failed , maybe its just
coincidence with the experience of Tim last year where his failed at
around the same number of hours , I stripped it out yesterday and it is the
same elastomeric one piece assembly.
Question : Tim or anyone else , what was your opinion of the Drake
rebuild , how long did it take and any contact details.
Keith

Keith. My alternator drive coupling failed after about 50 hours. I put it
down to kickback on startup and had the mags retarded a little. The original
coupling was elastomeric and had failed in sheer. I managed to locate an
alternative style that was mechanical but has rubber inserts for shock
absorbtion. I got it second hand and from memory only cost about 100. John

owner-kis-list-server@matronics.com FYI, I was fly a couple weeks ago and
lost The Alt. I determined that the Alt. was not producing power and
removed it. I am sure Cont. could have made that job harder if they tried.
I found the Alt. was ok but the Alt. Drive Coupling Assembly (P/N 635796)
was broken, the Lord rubber mount came loose from the ss shroud. Better if
the Alt was bad. The bad news is that Cont. wants $2077.00 for this part,
no, the engine is not included! The not so bad news is that Drake rebuilds
them and they can be had for $600.00 to $900.00, with a good core. I only
had a little over 400 hrs. on the engine. I had to remove a Slick Mag to
get the Alt. out, so I had the mag 500 hr service done. New points and
replaced a bad gear. So for only a $1000.00 + I now have lots of amps &
volts. Hope you have the "good" ones!
