Lower voltage, now Razor alky won't go green.

[LEGACY_GN]

So I bought a new 200 amp alternator last year from Kirban and constantly had volts in the high 15's. I finally bought a caspers field fix harness and now the volts are in the high 13's. Yes, I drove 8k miles with volts in the high 15's. I have a volt booster that is still in line with the alternator harness but not plugged in so it doesn't activate. I always did wonder however if it was causing the high voltage even unplugged but it didn't on the old alternator, so who knows. Anyway, now that the voltage is lower the alky won't go green. Stays red up to 15 at which I got knock and left off. Only difference is lower voltage. Strange part is I never adjusted the gains when I put the higher voltage alternator on last year so the lower voltage shouldn't matter, but yet no green light at setting 7. Red only. Thoughts?

Test Procedure

Start engine. Put knob on 8. Push and hold test button.. does it go green.?

yes.. leave knob on 8 and go into boost.. does it go green? Yes.. all is fine back it down and retest.
no.. start troubleshooting the system. Lower voltage will make the alky pump spin slower, also affect your fuel pump as well. May simply try bumping the Initial

inside the controller. should be at 12-12:30 for a setting.

You could also have a pump problem. How old is it? Easy test.. Gain on position 8.. hit test button you should see 3.8-4.0 volts applied across red and black pump wires.. if you have 3.8-4.0 volts you should have enough power to make the led change from red to green. If you only have 2.5-3 then theres your answer.. and turn up initial.

Hope this gives you insight. And the LED going green on test applies to single nozzle kits. So if its a twin nozzle.. pull out the meter and check power.

TIP... don't hit test with hose connected to intake and engine not running

Set to 8 and pressed button and just red light. Engine did stumble so it's spraying some. Checked all connections. Pump was year old in september. Tested it two weeks ago for full voltage and all was good. The other on going problem is that i have to prime the system before getting into boost or roll into it slowly otherwise I get knock so there seems to be a delay in the pump. Basically I have to hit the test button before I stomp on the gas or I get knock. Once it's primed though then no knock every time I stomp on it. Maybe a year of high voltage fried some electronics? System is from 2008.

Check your voltage to pump.. if its 4 volts on position 8.. send it in for inspection

Ok, although no green light on test button I did get a green at 15 pounds of boost set at 8. So maybe I just need to up the gain now that the voltage is 2 volts lower. I'll test the voltage too.
