Just as a reminder,

This behavior does not exist when OAT is above 40F OR is it is an

already warm engine.



On that same cold day Saturday, I started the warm engine at 400rpm and

it was charging immediately. There was no need to raise the rpm. Its

definitely temperature related.


	


    Aha! Great data point. If a regulator designer was trying

    to be really clever, the delayed turn on would be not only

    related to RPM (stumbling engine) but temperature too (cold

    weather is the hardest time to start).
