one alt.

Gordon, I flew many times with only one alternator, no problem. Are you sure it is the alternator and not either the rubber coupling or the woodruff key. I had my front alternator stop working and it turned out to be only the key.

With engine off, (Can you tell I'm an engineer), remove the cowl and Reach in with your fingers and see if you can rotate the alternator. If you can, it is not the alternator, it is either the key or the coupling.

BTW, I had my exhaust that feeds into the turbo welded. Now I hold MP on the way up. Have you solved your MP problem yet?

Good Luck
Jerry
