A Cessna mechanic should be perfectly capable of diagnosing a bad alternator and of diagnosing your roughness problem. Those issues are not Coupe specific..

Ed, I have called my A&P, but haven't gotten a call back yet. I work with Benbow Aviation here at Torrance and they have just gone out of business (or at least they have been sold to a new owner/operator). I don't know where to turn for a mechanic that knows anything about an Ercoupe. I believe that Linda Abrams has someone that works out of El Monte but that is a ways away, and as Student Pilot I can't fly it there. Do you think a Cessna mechanic would have any problem diagnosing the problem and replacing the alternator?
