The tach for the port engine (Perkins 4.236) has quit working, and in checking the tach connection at the outlet of the alternator I notice that the bolt on the alternator that the wire connect to seems to be loose. That is, it will turn. The nuts holding the ring terminals of the wire going to the alternator are tight, but when I turn the nut the whole thread assembly (that is, the bolt, if indeed it is a bolt) turns. I kind of assume that it is a bolt, and if it is turning then it is not making good contact inside the alternator. Am I correct that it is a bolt? If not, what does it connect with inside the alternator? Perhaps it is a double-ended bolt with no head, that screws into something inside the alternator?
Thanks for any suggestions. I may not be asking this question properly, but did the best I could.
