hello again, I wanted to give you some feedback on our issue with the spiking that was occurring. we replaced 2 more components the PCB and the actual start switch and wired it up normally. the spiking is gone as well. we test drove and no spiking, but at normal driving speed of 55-60...

hi bro, me again.
what do you think of the idea of us just running from the alt straight to the batteries? and would it be as simple as (2) wires hot and ground.
do you foresee any issue with this idea?

1) here are some pics, the battery well is kind of hard to make out. up at the alt you can see that the 2 small wires are no longer hooked up. as the unit is self exciting.
2) also, since we last emailed you we have been busy troubleshooting this issue. see if this makes any sense to...

thanks for the reply.
we did use 2 different dvm's. (at some point we questioned them too)
that regulator sensing wire you refer to, do you mean the actual hot wire to the alt from the battery? the reason I ask is on the new 21si we only hooked up the ground and the hot wire. the...

as soon as I get home from work I will do your recommended actions and...

I did my install and it is awesome....but I still have the problem that prompted me to do this install.
when the engine is running at idle the voltmeter on the dash is in the high yellow range and when I increase the idle it can go all the way into the red and then the meter starts to...

thanks again for the reply!
I got to the bottom of it, when I called them twice this morning they asked me to call back because they couldn't find the pulley data. so about and hour later I get a call from them and it was the actual service guy and he promptly said we got the pulley...

ok I called spidermarine and I gave them the above pulley data and they still cant find it.

thanks to all
74m35a2

Was it your posting about the part # ?. I referenced you in the above discussion, I had written the # down but not your name, but that...
manders
thank you again for the reply!

I cant wait to do mine, burning up my second alt after just 1000 miles was the icing on the cake to do this mod too!
