After reading all about the various issues with them, and humming along happily like I had good sense with mine, you guys all get your chance at "told ya so"...
Mine failed this morning at 720 hours, enroute of course, loud obnoxious whine in the headset and less than half the normal output. I could see the voltage drop and battery discharge when I pulled back on the RPM or added load, I was getting maybe (generously) 25 amps out of a 60 amp alternator.
B&C primary will be ordered tomorrow. I'm sure glad I installed a backup B&C, it took the load just like it always has and didn't care, kept soldiering on.
