i tried to wiggle it out but it wasnt cooperating. i may try tomorrow when i have more patience. what do you think about the voltage regulator heating up?

Here at the airport. Cleaned field terminals ohms between f1/f2 improved. However, after leaving the master on for a while after a run up and taxi, voltage regulator is warm/hot to the touch. disconnected and was getting 12.49 to the VR and 10.7 coming out the other side.

nice! thank you!

I had to replace it 2 years ago. Would the VR have gone bad that quickly? My last VR failure the panel just shut off

75 f. What's the easiest way to remove it without pulling the prop?

I'm going to do this tomorrow!!

Yes, we did this. Variation is at about 0.1

Mid flight I had my ammeter go negative with the red voltage light on my 75 F. I landed without incident, checked everything and proceeded home. Mid flight, it happened again and I landed again just before landing without incident and once on the ground, I cycled the master and it appeared to have resolved the problem. After troubleshooting connections, I e settled on needing a new alternator. F1/f2 resistance test yielded 5.2 ohms apparently normal range is 3-4. Am I correct in thinking I need the new alternator and if so, which one is recommended for best bang for my buck? I'd like to go to an a&p confidently as I find myself without a reliable one at the moment.

They've been trying to sell one locally for like the last year... No takers though

Hi, are you still doing this? Will it fit these switches?

This is definitely what I think happened. After modifying my leaning, the problem has gone away

This is the plan if I have any problems again

Yes. I've always leaned just nowhere near enough. I figured just bringing it further down a bit was enough. It was not.

Ah yes. DA here is rarely less than 5-6000. Field elevation is 3950.

My AP puts 7qts
