 |
|
A simple question but my aircraft has not flown for 2 years. I cannot remember if the generator/charging light comes on when power is turned on or not. My 914 is wired as shown in the manual. There is power on the C pin of the connecting plug and if I earth the L pin of the plug the light comes on, but not when plugged into the rectifier/regulator. Does the alternator have to be rotating ? or have I got the dreaded Ducati regulator failure.
If so any ideas??? Who is the cheapest UK supplier?
regards,

normal setup for most reg's is to allow current to pass to earth when voltage drops low, ie ignition
on engine not running, the bias in reg diode changes as voltage comes up preventing the light from
coming on as it cant get to earth. not having used a duke reg I couldnt comment on that
