Another test trick with Lycoming belt driven charging systems is to drive the alternator only with a 1/2 hp or more hand held electric motor instead of using the engine. The direction of rotation isn't critical. If you want to have "variable" speeds, put a cone pulley on the motor. This makes it a lot easier and safer to work around. Disadvantages are getting access if your cowl doesn't split, but of course that is always a problem. Recognize though that in service the alternator spins probably close to 10,000 RPM. |
