OK , I have been reading anything I can find on this forum but to no avail. I have a RV6A with a Vision Microsystems engine monitoring system. During my last flight the Amp draw fluctuated quite a bit. It would go from 30 amps to 40 back to 30 then all the way up to 50 60 and even 65. That is red-line on my amp gauge and I was concerned so I switched the alternator off. (reading these forms maybe not the best thing to do repeatedly as I did) This would usually take a few seconds then the apm draw would indicate 1 or 2 or very low like that. After a few min I would turn the alternator switch back on and it would stay steady for a few min then start going up and down. The volts remained steady at 14.XX I would wait until it got to over 60 amps and turn the alt switch off again. This happened probably 5 times in a 1 hour flight. only once when I had the alt switch off did the amps remain around 30 for a few min with some more fluctuating before finally dropping to nothing. Is this a sign of bad alternator? Where should I start for troubleshooting?
Thanks
