chris j m Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 hi guys , I have just put in my new singer 220 alternator, when I start the car the voltge sits at around 12.6 volts but when I go above 2000 rpm it jumps to 14.6/8 . also I am still running 1600 watts for the next week or so until I make my new box , but still getting voltage drop to the low 13s . once I install my rf t2500, which will take me up to over double the power I am running at the moment, wont it get worse ?? I only have an xs d1200 at the moment but getting a d3100 next week . thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 alternator pulley needs to be smaller. the pulley is not spinning the alternator fast enough at idle to "turn it on" or get any decent output from it. its a problem with some high output alternators.

chris j m Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 oh right , well I don't know where I would get a smaller pulley from , would you think it would be a major problem and damage my electrical if I keep having to rev the engine every time I start it or would it run alright ?
