11/05/2008 21:44

been cleaning around our yanmar diesel today and noticed black dust around the alternator settling on the cooling vanes and body of the alternator and below it - all working fine - is this dust -looks like carbon normal (I know I have seen it and wiped it off before) or if not what is likely cause and remedy ?

thanks
