Not Ranked
After breakfast with a couple of CC pals, I hop into my Cobra for the jaunt over to Canepa and notice that my ammeter current is getting pulled down by my turn signals. I try my headlights, and they suck it down a tad further. After Canepa & Coffee, I check it out. Battery voltage when off is 12.29. Battery voltage when running is 12.19, and gets pulled down by lights, turn signals, fans.
Sigh...
Once home from the beach I pop the hood and start checking things out. I move the field wire to take it loose and the eyelet breaks off. An eyelet and some heat shrink later I fire it up. Healthy 13.6 Volts.
It would appear all the bump and grind of trouble shooting my charging system left the eyelet worn and weak. Good thing to keep in mind.
