Flight,
I need some direction (lots) on how to troubleshoot/test my Rotax generator and regulator to determine the reason why I have no power other than battery power.
Thanks,

Steve,
I had that problem.
Thought it was the regulator and had it tested ..no. It turned out to be the connecting DIN plug to the regulator was not sufficiently home and one of the female/male connections within the plug was not connecting probably. Dismantle the plug and clean. Check each connection is positively connecting and alter if necessary the female connector to make a positive connection.
Cheers,
Tim

Steve
I had same trouble; no alt pwr at all
during first engine run upp.
Reason: those yellow wires from the
alternator to the regulator G-connectors
were not fully inserted /locked. Very simple!
They are quite easy to leave unconnected!
After fix I get more than enough power.
Hope that helps, Raimo

Hi Steve
Can you describe what happened before failure, any work done, did charging go down gradually or instantly?
