I purchased an already built rv-4. I had some electronic noise issues and replaced the alternator when it tested bad.
After start when I engage the alternator switch the voltage reads just about what it should. A little over 14v at 1000 rpm.
However at higher or cruise setting the voltage seems to fluctuate and at times bumps up to a little over 15 volts.
It’s an external regulator (C-8010-1) and not a very complex circuit. Would the fluctuating voltage that runs high typically be the regulator going bad? Seems like that would be the most likely culprit but I thought I would ask as it’s not in a very convenient place for removal
