Fitting an alternator to C90 query
Am about to fit a new B&C alternator to my Continental C90 to replace a failed ancient generator. I would like to run the engine occasionally whilst I sort out the new wiring setup. Is there any danger to the new alternator if it's not electrically connected? I know regulator stators can be damaged by a sudden open circuit but can't see how I would be risking alternator damage by an engine run before connection. Am I right?
