Clicking was Alternator

I removed the belt and behold, the clicking/clacking nose is gone. I broke it. Lesson learned. So that mystery is solved. I'm going to replace the whole unit with the 55 amp alternator from MMI. Tom at Indigo felt that this would be a better fit for their new electronic pump kit for their fresh water cooling that runs off this unit. Though the manual pump would work just fine with the 120 amp alternator.

Anyway, I am still getting some surge at very low idle, but I suspect this is a flow adjustment, it may just be a little confused switching between the idle jet and the main jet? I have noticed the main jet will impact the rpm even at vey low (almost quitting) idle. Which is suspicious in it's own right.

I'm sorry I have to ask basic questions like "can I run without the alternator connected" or "can I remove a plug wire while running". I am still learning.
