Yours was the first webpage we found when searching for info. It has been
printed and filed. Thanks for sharing.

A few years back, I posted several stories about getting the generator of
my own C-85 fixed. They're collected at:

Many tractors and dune buggys use similar generators. You might be a
little less candit with the next rebuilder you talk to.



But it's a gear-driven thing, if it's on a small Continental, and
they'll start asking questions.

Sounds like that Jackson I slipped Google did the trick. :-)

Glad to be of help....

Hi,
I had both Delco-Remy generators overhauled at Aero Tech of
Louisville. Mine were 24 volt, 50 amp units. I also purchased solid
state regulators to replace my old breaker contact style ones.
They've been working great since I did this a year and a half ago.
Their website is
www.aerotechlou.com. Even if yours is not listed,
you might contact them. Their work is first rate and they are very
helpful over the phone with troubleshooting. Just a happy customer.

Brian,

That information will be helpful to me. I had my starters overhauled
a couple years ago by AreoElectric, but they are no longer in business
or at least not doing that any longer. I want to send my generators
out soon. They are also Delco 24 volt / 50A units. I have installed
Zeftronics solid state generator controllers with a built in
paralleling circuit. They are very smooth and work great. What type
of twin are you flying? Mine is a 310G.

Thanks,

O-ring Seals


Hi,
I had it done on a C310K. I used the Zeftronics controllers
also. Replaced three old units that look like they're out of a
Studebaker with two new solid state units. I sent both generators to
Aero Tech of Louisville and they also set the regulators for each one
on their bench tester, so I have matched pairs. Real nice folks and
very reasonable. I think the generator overhauls were less than $200
per unit, and they've performed great since then.
