Mainship 400 alternator not charging for 4 minutes after start
On my Mainship 34, 6lYA-STP engine, an intake manifold pre-heater goes on for the first 4 or 5 minutes to heat the air intake when the engine is cold to avoid smoking diesel. My alternator shows no charging until this time expires, then fine after that. So it may be by design.
