My mechanic is working on a puzzling electrical problem on a Mooney Acclaim (2009?) that I find interesting enough to post and see if anyone has seen this.
This is what I know about this problem: (no it is not my M20S!-- fortunately)
1- the Alternator drops out when the rpm drops below 900.
2- re-setting the alt-field or the circuit breaker will bring the alternator back on-line at 1000 rpm
3-Rebuilt alternator did not solve the problem.
4-Bypassed the alt relay and did not solve the problem.
5-checked for loose wires and none found.
6-Voltage regulator on the list to be replaced but not done yet.
7-The line voltage is always greater than 28.6 volts.
8-Charging and alternator performance appears normal at 1000 rpm and above.
Any ideas would be appreciated
