Since you had such good luck diagnosing Gordons problem hoping you could figure mine out.
Cessna Agtruck running the plane power system.
Ran fine for a couple years.
Suddenly this summer it starts spiking and kicking out for a while then kicks back in
repeating the process til it finally burnt the regulator out.
Pulled the cowling and found severe fuel leak in that area. (yea thats a whole nother "Holy $hit" story !!!!!)
Fixed the fuel leak and replaced the regulator.
everything would work fine under 1000 rpm but above that, same story til finally burnt out another regulator.
So now I finally get it in the shop for the winter annual and have to figure out whats causing that !!
Wire shorting ?? loose ??? vibration induced ????
thanks
