Anybody know if the flywheel alternators that are in the Great Plains engines wear out with time? It seems my voltmeter needle is riding around 11 volts instead of 12 with the engine at full RPM. It might be my imagination.
If they DO wear out with time, what needs to be replaced? What wears? I just aborted a trip to La Paz because the voltmeter needle seemed to be riding a little lower than it usually does. I didn't want to be coming back across the border without a working transponder so I landed in San Felipe and just came back home. Better safe than sorry. This alternator situation worries me but it might be just fine and my imagination the problem, not the alternator. It's got a lot of hours on it - the flywheel alternator I mean - and am wondering if I've got a problem developing.
