[QUOTE="PhatTonyDeMarco, post: 5108918, member: 560787"] Nathan makes those alternators to operate at 800RPM's and above. I got an alt from him and had this problem, no output at idle, and he had no problem tweaking the alt to suit my low engine idle. The lack of voltage at idle is because the alternator is not operating at that time, you read a voltage between battery and alt only because that wire is on the battery, giving you the batts voltage only; not an output voltage.
