The westy has ran *great* since I added a fat ground
wire from alternator to body and put a noise
suppression capacitor on the back of the alternator.

I've put 455 miles on her since then, most of it in
100+ mile chunks, with lights on and refrigerator
running on 12 volts, and no sign whatsoever of any
hesitation or misbehaving. That's the farthest it's ever
gone since I've owned it without exhibiting the symptoms!
The motor feels much better. It lost some minor hesitation
and feels smoother all around.

Cool!

Steve
