Hi Guys,
last month I noticed my voltage slowly dropping to under 10 volts . It
has been reading inconsistent for the last two flights so after 220
hours I replaced the Regulator. Now it's consistent but I'm only
getting 11 volts on my stratomaster engine monitor. If anyone has a
quick place for me to look I would like to hear from you.
Best Regards,

First place I would look would be the large capacitor connected right next
to the regulator. Make sure it has the same capacity and/or is not open. A
bad cap might affect the regulator output.

before chucking the expensive regulator , you might check to see that
alternator is putting out the appropriate 16 or so Vac, although odds are on the regulator.

Jeff,
I would check your ground connections to the regulator, capacitor, etc.
along with associated crimp connetors.

Hi Jeff,
Have you cross-checked your indicated voltage with another voltmeter?

Havent had time to do anything yet but thanks to you all I have made a list of what to check first. I will let all know of my results as soon as I get to it. Man I need to retire! NO TIME!
