Hi All,
I am concerned that my alternator might not be changing my batteries. I have an Atomic 4 with a Motorola MR12N4510 alternator. With the engine in Neutral at high idle I measured about 12.6 volts. If the alternator is working to charge the batteries I would expect over 14 volts.
I have a simple battery switch (1-2-both-off) and a battery isolator (Sure Power Model 702 multi battery isolator).
My wife and I thought we smelled burning rubber so I inspected the V-belt and it seemed loose. I tightened it and I have ordered a new belt which should be here in the morning.
I appreciate any advice you can offer.
