Re: MR2 Alternator Upgrade?

So voltage does meander a bit as the regulator gets it back to 14ish. Seen over 15 with the beans off idle, but it comes back down soon enough. Drops to 13ish when the beans stop and recovers. Occasionally hangs 13ish when rad fan comes on. Was doing some wierd 12ish nonsense while running through t...

Re: MR2 Alternator Upgrade?

I've added terminals inside for an inverter and running extra do dadds. My voltmeter spends most of it's time monitoring the tercs battery.

Re: MR2 Alternator Upgrade?

Yep. A/T
The temp and battery (charge) lights both come on on starting and stay on.
Seems odd for the trans to be hot before even the engine so thinking due to the new more powerful alt....but why

Re: MR2 Alternator Upgrade?

I should report that my battery and temp dash lights are now on constant my first day driving around. NITRO_55C_01232023_083433.jpg If I recall from a previous topic this is a sign of an alt going out. Can anyone confirm? Do they come on from too high a voltage perhaps? Solutions? My running voltage...

Re: Huge carb discovery <i think> main venturi seal spacer gap

Re: Huge carb discovery <i think> main venturi seal spacer gap

petros... i'm surprised. it seems you completely glazed over what i was referring to in my post.

the size of it.
it does need to seal against the top of the carb right?
the bigger ones seem to be a better fit. will know better when i put it on and make adjustments in the daylight of course.

Re: Carburetor Fuel Mixture Screw?

the plug was removed when i got it, has already been tampered with, and she definitely doesn't idle right, and appears damaged. i'm kind of an exhaust my resources of tangible info before i ask questions because i'm still not certain type. though i appreciate the reiteration because you never know. ...
