charging problem - something sticking?

24/06/2008 12:11

I have a new alternator fitted to my dolphin engine. when the engine starts and runs, we get only about 12volts showing on the voltmeter. however if we rev the engine very hard for a few seconds, it suddenly flicks up to about 14 volts, and then stays there even when revs drop back to normal. What's sticking?
