Quote from: ewengstrom on July 26, 2023, 08:41:23 AMI don't have any rectifiers left we had to order them 300 at a time and we were about to place an order when I had to close my business. My buddy Gene who used to be at Regitar left and joined another company..
Rod,
Giving your replies a good bit of thought I'm inclined to agree that this problem may have been of my own making. I've never had to worry about using a spanner wrench when tightening the nut on the B+ post anytime in the past....but honestly, this explanation makes sense. I also hope this thread helps folks figure out something like this in the future.....it really is quite frustrating.
I'm also going to take a hard look at the cable itself as it is not attached to the engine anywhere other than the B+ post and I'm wondering if when the motor vibrates at lower RPM's it is actually working the post around inside the alternator. Once I get back to reinstalling the alternator I'll address this possibility and report back on the findings.
By some chance might you have one of the original 70A rectifiers and a B+ post assembly for the AMPIT-100-ER available? I'd very happily purchase it from you rather than attempt to source it elsewhere.
I have plenty of B+ stud kits. compassmarineservices@gmail.com
