I will try to measure loads at various rpm's soon. Can do it with canopy closed with the cowl off. Also want to make sure my alternator is not producing any power when the field current is shut down. The voltage dropped to battery voltage immediately when the switched off. so have to believe it is not generating any power. Bernie
