Hi all,



I completed my 50 hours and a carb balance yesterday. Before the check I warmed the engine with no issues; it was running a d operating well.



After the check, we rigged up the carb balancer using the aircraft battery to power it. After start I noticed that the Alternator warning light remained on and voltage was about 12.5. We disconnected the balancer and used an external battery to power. 



Issue remains. Raising the rpm to over 3000 would generally turn out the light and the battery appeared to be charging again. Spent a few hours fault finding but not sure I’ve got to the bottom of it. All the wiring into the rectifier regulator appears sound.



Any ideas what could be the issue?



Thanks in advance.



Craig
