Alt voltage steady, but lower after servicing
The voltage on my 85.5 alternator just went down after servicing (new regulator and bearings) - but is steadier.
Used to start at just over 14 volts, but usually within a few minutes the voltage indicator needle would start to waver between just below this level down to just above 12 volts. Obviously time for a new regulator, and I decided to do bearings also (sounded squeaky when turned by hand).
Now, the voltage seems very steady....but is running just over 13 volts. Does this sound about right? And why would the voltage have started up over 14 prior to servicing?
