figgie Unfortunately I do not have a ammeter large enough. My digital meter only goes up to 10 amps. I figured I would have to remove the alternator regardless so I put a wrench on the alternator pivot nut last night. As usual the nut wouldn't budge. I soaked it with some liquid wrench...

Thank you. I figured it wasn't the IC regulator. Reason being the tsrm tells you to ground out the IC and if the voltage goes up the IC is bad. In my case the readings stayed about the same. I figured that when you ground out the IC the alternator goes "all out" and maxes out the voltage...

Thanks for you helpful info jdub. I use purolator one filters and synthetic oil. I will admit that I use the walmart brand synthetic oil. Since my oil changes are so infrequent I will go ahead and shell out the extra money for Pennzoil synthetic in the Supra for some added insurance. Thanks...

The Marine mechanics generally recommend that you keep your fuel tanks empty when you don't use your boat for months at a time. If you cant empty your tank or use your boat frequently you should keep your tank full. Full tanks eliminate that air space between the the fuel and the tank wall that...

Ethanol mixed fuel is bad news when it is stored or not used up on a regular basis. The Marine industry is having issues with the ethanol mix in the fuel. Down here in hot and humid south Florida the gasohol attracts and absorbs water. I read somewhere that ethanol mixed fuels can absorb 10...
