Re: Alt cuts out at 3.5k
I made a regulator once for an outboard, and it would behave just like that. It was a design flaw, but I guess that's not quite the issue you've got.
The only things that comes to mind is brush float caused by worn brushes, or the magnet wire in the rotor having a flaw somewhere and being pulled apart by the sentrifugal force.
