I was made aware of a HUGE snafu today involving the March issue. The Dzus Dnuz is normally mailed out of my office monthly. Since there are approximately 280 newsletters, they sit in an "open box" for the mail carrier. Apparently, the US Postal Service decided to close the box and deliver all 280 newsletter's directly to Bruce's home. You can't make this stuff up. I will make sure that I hand deliver the box of newsletters directly to the Post Office tomorrow for mailing purposes.

So, after some research, we have picked out magnetic name badges for the membership (see photo). These are magnetic name badges, so no worry about putting holes in shirts, jackets, etc. The cost of the name badge is $ 5, which will also cover shipping and handling. If you would like a WPTA Name Badge, please send me a check for $ 5, payable to WPTA. Don't forget to include your spouse or other significant person in your life.

So, if you own a Wedge, please register under the Wedge Owners Group or TWOA. ***The Pre-Registration Discount expires on March 23rd*** Once again, I have reserved a blook of 10 rooms for the Club at the Appalachian Hotel. 1825 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle, Pa. 17015, (717) 706-3862 All rooms are "double beds", and the room rate is $ 125 + tax. ***The deadline to reserve a room is April 15TH, 2026*** Reservations can be made by calling the front desk agents at (717) 966-1261. If you call the hotel, you need to reserve your room under Western Pennsylvania Triumphs. ***Unfortunately, they cannot do a rooming list like last year as they must have a credit card on file to reserve the rooms*** Remember, WPTA owns 3 spaces, C-67, 68 & 69, for all members to display and sell parts.

If you get 13 or more volt reading the alternator is working. Normal would be in the 14.3+ volt range. If that's your reading the alternator is fine. Of course as you did; check all of the connections for corrosion and fix that too. Running the headlights is not a battery risk but it is a risk to the headlight switch. That's why many of us have installed relays in our headlight system to lower the current draw thru the switch. Trust you are enjoying KY, we are having a good time in NC. Especially liking the weather in the mountains. Driving the mountain roads is a bonus too.

If you get 13 or more volt reading the alternator is working. Normal would be in the 14.3+ volt range. If that's your reading the alternator is fine. Of course as you did; check all of the connections for corrosion and fix that too. Running the headlights is not a battery risk but it is a risk to the headlight switch. That's why many of us have installed relays in our headlight system to lower the current draw thru the switch. Trust you are enjoying KY, we are having a good time in NC. Especially liking the weather in the mountains. Driving the mountain roads is a bonus too.

The acceleration sputttered when past half throttle (fuel starved), the overdrive stopped working and the battery died in the end. That battery was only 4 years old but out of warranty so I swapped it out in an abundance of caution and finally tested the alternator. There was no charge above 12 volts when running, tested at the battery terminals. I finally inspected the alternator terminals and found the hot lead completely corroded and broken at the female connector. Discovered Lowe?s doesn?t carry a spade female connector large enough for the 8-10 ha power lead but Autozone did. A relatively simple fix that I should have inspected long ago! Hoping there?s nothing more to it but wanted thoughts about the best way to get the alternator tested.
