FX3: intermittent zero amps, spiking oil temp, strobes tripping off

[cavok84]

Great to hear and glad CubCrafters took good care of you, that is always a win for both. Andy is the super star here and he helped me a lot with my issue offline and in the end it was two bad coil packs. Thankfully Lightspeed had them in stock as CubCrafters parts did not and I have a BFR approaching so the timing was not ideal. Now just testing and verifying, making sure no side effects etc.

I need to get to the Ozarks someday, definite cub bucket list item.

Guess I spoke a bit too soon. The intermittent loss of battery charging and decreasing voltage returned again today. It remained for the entirety of quite a bit of flying (low positive or zero and sometimes negative amps, batt voltage lower than when I saw high amp). I'll sleep on it, I guess, before figuring out where to start.

Could you possibly have a bad starter battery?

One thing to check…….be sure the arm that holds the alternator isn’t powdered coated. Some genius powder coated some of them and they are the ground for the alternator so the powder coat has to be ground off at all attach locations. Causes all kinds of weird issues (which are usually grounding problems)
