Hi Mike:

The procedure of flashing the field only pertained to generators. The oil leak issue is present with every accessory pad on the accessory case. I totally agree with putting the battery on a tender or maintainer as soon as you roll it back into the hanger. I typically get 12 years out of a car battery. I can get seven years out of the batteries on my motorcycles.

Do you have any new info to add to your findings on the charging system? I'd be glad to give you my number if you wanted to talk through this.

Dave

Dave,

We are waiting on a Working VR to arrive and try that as a last resort. I would be glad to speak with you directly. Thank you for the offer! The last thing I want to do is start replacing alternators unnecessarily.

Mike
