The report button seems a good first step, I assume followed up with a PM to Jamo for extra awareness.

I’d recently read on another site that Jamo said he needed to create an online curriculum pronto for the law course he teaches (at night I believe), in addition to his regular work schedule.

So, Coronavirus may well be impacting his schedule understandably. I assume he can help assist directly, or facilitate indirectly, with something like this as time allows. He’s been muy busio for sure!

Brent...thanks. Nothing spectacular...on top of creating an an online version for a class that needs to be taught face-to-face with a few days notice, got the day job of advising ag clients throughout Calif (from wine to citrus to veggies to fruits) WTF to do with possible layoffs, government shutdowns and the like due to those bat eating sonsab!tcheses starting this damn thing. For example...we just shut down all of the wine tasting rooms in Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, SLO and Santa Barbara for one huge client over the weekend and yesterday, employees calling in because they have to stay home with their kids til they find day care because the schools announced they were closing over the weekend, Trump saying this/Newsom saying that...

But hey, somebody forgets their password so...

This virus has shut down the whole #$*% world!
PA. has shut down everything but essential businesses.
What really sucks, is that my Cobra is locked up in a dealership showroom and it's going to be in the 70's Friday, so I can't even go for a nice drive by my lonesome in the afternoon before the GF gets home from work. Grrr...

I was going through the engine data on Fridays test runs and found a correlation between system voltage and high rpm. Seems that every time we got an ABS Mil light there was a voltage spike going as high as 16.2 volts so I was wrong about a solid supply voltage. It may be that the engine accelerates at a greater rate than the regulator can control the alternator flux field. I am thinking of putting a couple of high current silicone diodes in series to lower the ABS supply voltage. That may solve this issue.

Other options may be installing an oversize pulley on the alternator and/or undersize pulley on crank, to slow down alternator's rpm's, and also installing a manual/remote disconnect switch from the alternator field wire, or bat terminal, and running solely off the battery during high rpm runs.
