et your meter to AC voltage and measure from the main bus to ground while th
e engine is running. If you see more than one volt in the AC scale, suspect a
blown diode inside the alternator or possibly bad brushes. Remember, the al
ternator is only supposed to output DC voltage. This isn=99t a perfect
test, but it is quick and easy. A ripple meter is an even better way to che
ck stator and diode condition, but most amateur builders will not have one i
n their toolbox.

he BandC includes and OVP unit. I am assuming that this is a manufacturing
issue since this was one of the first produced.
