Today I got diverted by less interesting chores, but I am in UK. Not
a particularly risky location, I would have thought.
I just tried again and got the same error 403 message. You must be
thinking it is not reaching excitation speed though, from your
comments. Perhaps I shall bolt it down and wind it up a bit more. It
is not bolted down at present and this is why I don't want to rev it
over fast tickover. It starts to walk about.
Regards George.
Sometime to excite a alt you have to rev them high briefly.
