FWIW, all pre-2000 Honda FWD 4-cylinders run "backwards" compared to almost all other automotive engines and therefore have the correct cooling fans to work with our Lycomings.
I've been using a 1986 Civic 60A ND alternator on my -6 for the past 9 years and ~700 hours and have had no issues (yet... knock on wood). I got the thing from a local Pick-Your-Part and rebuilt it myself, so I have about $40 invested so far. The original multi-rib pulley was swapped for an earlier V-belt version. I also reverse-engineered a PP internal regulator and applied the mod to mine so that I have complete control over field power. (The "complete control" part being the primary reason for desiring an external regulator). If you're interested in making the PP mod to your own ND alternator, PM me and I'll show you how. Heinrich |
This is the company that I had fix my Plane Power 60 amp units. The unit was more than 2 years old which put it out of warranty (58 total hours of use). The alternator had a stator wire fail at the coil.
Liberal Magneto Company 749 South Kansas Ave Liberal, KS 67901 620-624-7654 Ask for Mike Hope this helps. |

Another plane power failure. 350 hours over 2years. Was intermittent for a couple of days then stopped.
Purchased from Vans, out of warranty, considering the high failure rate not sure what to replace it with. |

The failure mode consisted of the voltage fluctuating between 12 and 14 for a couple of days. Seemed like a loose field connection. I checked all connections, squeezed the terminals closed, still no joy.
Went to the alternator shop, they put it on the tester and it worked. Got a spare plug from them, installed it in the plane and now it works again. I cannot see anything wrong with the original plug but obviously there is something wrong inside |

I did not pot the backside as there is already rubber filling the holes and supporting the wire , also no room left to pot. Peter |
