When I worked on planes in the Navy there were ONLY two wire bundle
materials. Lacing tape, and Adel clamps. That handles everything. We did
not ever use Nylon ties.

| Subject: | voltage regulator |
Anyone had the standard KEYWEST CONTROLS voltage regulator (2 wires
input, 2 wires output) explode for no appearant reason.
I have what is probably standard on my plane- 12 volt battery, electric
fuel pump, radio, etc.. I go thru the motions to energize; key on,
master switch on, fuel pump on, then start priming 4 or 5 times just
like I have always done. The mag switches are not even on yet and
seconds latter the regulator sounds like a fire cracker went off on blew
the regulator's insides outward. Fairly nice puff of smoke as well.
After removal of the regulator, and just to make sure all equipment
comes on with the switches, I energize everything again, and all seems
ok, fortunately.
Seems the regulator doesnt do anything, until the engine is running, and
then it regulates the voltage to the equipment/battery right?
I hate to buy another regualator at just under 100 bucks if there is
potential of blowing it again, after installation.
All wiring looks OK and nothing visually seems toasted.
Anyone have ideas of whats going on. I have plenty of time on the plane
prior to this happening.

YES,
Had it happen on my model II.
Send it back to Key West and the will send you a new one. Forgot what
the problem
was, but they had a defect in some of the regulators.
