[DML] 100 Amp Delco alternator does not charge at start up.

["dmc_5180" <dmc_5180@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine has a problem with his alternator not charging when he starts the engine. He 
has to rev the engine too get the system to to show charge. Once he does this, the system 
will show normal charge 13.5- 14.0 volts at idle and will be fine after that. It is if there is not 
enough initial excitation voltage to get the alternator to turn on.  Any thoughts? I seemed to 
recall someone had posted a similar problem a while back with the same delco unit. I but was 
unable to find it in the archives.

Thanks

Dennis
