Neckoslash Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Arcing? You sure you taped / shrunk wrapped all the electrical connectors right/enough? You see any electricity jumping? Sort of sounds like that to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 It could be the rotor interfering with the stator windings/stator base, etc.. There isn't much room in there. I would take the alternator back to where you got it if the noise is definitely coming from inside the alternator. There are other tricks to assembling the type of alternator that works in our cars. If it isn't done properly, it will tick, and charge for a few weeks and then quit charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 i bet it was makeing a noise befor you install'd it,, it's not uncommon i have had as many as 3 in a row that made noise , spin it and listen carefuly,, the noise is often the cooling fan blade hiting the internal windings,, befor long the windings wear and the alt stops chargeing as it should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
