Hi All,

          After refitting the engine (912s) having  completed Mod 72, I 

find that the alt light didn't  come on. I've checked all the wires and 

the bulb. I started the engine for a few minutes and it seems that there 

is no charge from the alternator. Again I checked all the wires  from 

the alternator to the regulator fuses etc. As every thing was working 

fine before, and I haven't  touched  or altered anything I'm a little 

confused. Could the regulator be duff ?  Any advise would be welcome, 

but bear in mind I'm no electrician

Danny

Since things were working before I would look again at each item you 

disconnected and reconnected and others you may have bumped or pulled on. 

Check the terminal connections at end of wires and also grip end of terminal 

and give slight pull on wire to assure there is not a break inside of the 

insulation sheath of wire. Check and recheck. Make sure your grounds are 

good. Its probably not your regulator if it was working before but check 

your connections there as well.Good luck.

Jerry

Had a similar experience.  Turned out to be a blown main fuse...

Jerry / Jeff.

                 Thanks for your replies. I'll go back in the hangar 

this afternoon, with my wee meter, and check again.
