It is possible that you have just a bad connection. Check the field wire for something loose. It should run from your distribution bus via a CB or fuse to the F connection on the alternator. With the master on also verify that your are getting 12 volts to the alternator field connection. Check the tightness of the other connections and if everything checks out fine, then a new alternator may be in your future. They only cost a few hundred bucks and are not worth repairing. I agree with Don - if you need a new one contact PlanePower. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - Working G3X panel Rest almost done Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=362924#362924 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:21:04 AM PST US From: Linn Walters Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Alternator trouble On 1/10/2012 9:26 AM, nukeflyboy wrote: > --> RV10-List message posted by: "nukeflyboy" > > An intermittent operation is an odd failure mechanism for an alternator. It is possible that you have just a bad connection. Check the field wire for something loose. Good catch. When checking the field wire attached to the alternator, pull smartly on the wire ..... I've found field wires that fractured inside the insulation ....... then the arcing burns the wire back to the point where it won't arc over anymore. The connection looks good, but it isn't. I had forgotten that. Linn > It should run from your distribution bus via a CB or fuse to the F connection on the alternator.

I know that 135 operators are required but in the "good" old days magnetos went to 1500-2000 hours. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:56:59 PM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV10-List: Slick magneto inspection For Slick magnetos it is highly recommended. From what I have seen the inards are not as durable as a Bendix. Since you can do it yourself, all you need is points, condenser, and the correct lube. IIRC Slick even has tools to ensure you get the E gap correct, etc. In turbo-ed motors with pressurized Slicks they often don't make 500 hours.
