Alternator on DD-3-53 does not charge at idle
I have a forklift with a Detroit Diesel 3-53 engine.
Unfortunately, the alternator on it does not charge at engine idle.
At idle it rotates at 1,250 RPM (measured with my tachometer).
If I push on gas, it charges.
This alternator is a rebuilt alternator.
Someone told me that I should change the regulator on this alternator
to make sure that it does charge at idle.
Could someone comment on this, and also how can I find different
regulators?
On a different forklift, I was able to solve it by making the pulley
diameter smaller, but here the pulley is already very small.
Thanks
