"OFF CHARGE" Stall
Discussion
Hello
I have a pair of 8 inch pull fans fitted to 3000m with low rad.
Works perfectly. Keeps me cool even in summer.
However. When they kick in I go into "off charge" , if I also have my lights on, I need to watch my revs to stop a stall. Putting on heater fan means I have to ride the loud pedal to keep things going.
I have a 50amp alternator.
Thought that would stop me losing spark due to electrical load.
I gave heard that spal fans have lower draw.so that may help
What can I do, other than drive in the cold and dark)?

The ignition light does not come on before the stall.
The alternator is new
The fans are not on a relay
The stall only occurs under "load" from the electrical items
It is happy to idle without them
Battery may be the problem. It has been flat twice before I got a trickle charger.
It is on a ctek conditioner now for over 6 months and it says the battery is fine...
No problem starting hot or cold
I will check voltage tonight. It has been off charge now for two days.
Will also check voltage while running and feedback here

Hello
It seems I don't have a problem after all !
Took tvr out last night. Had fans running. All lights. Inc highbeam. Heater blower. Radio. Panel lights. Rear screen... yes I was deep "off charge" but idling fine....
I think I have to work on my weber idling circuit...
Symptom is horrible low rpm idle. Good above 1500....
