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!
Tim

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

Tim.
I thought it lasted 50 hours, after checking the engine logbook it actually lasted 225 hours! Shows how quickly the pain dulls after the passage of time.
I removed part no. 635796 and replaced it with p/ns 531325, 530407, 632050, 653982 and 653983.
