Hi group
Not only do I need a source for a alternater for a volvo MD-6b but
find I should find a re-built starter as well.
I would accept a used n if anyone out there has one to sell .
I am planning a trip to Baltimore in September my starter is acting
up.
Alternator ics putting out 13.25 and that's at lower end .
Oh well
Best to all

Have you tried taking them in to a auto electrical shop to have them
repaired or rebuilt? I haven't done it with a Volvo starter or alternator,
but I have done it with other marine starters and alternators, including an
outboard motor starter.The outboard dealer wanted over $400 for a new
starter; an auto electrical shop charged $85 to fix it.

Hi All
I pulled the starter and alt off an MD6A last year and took them to a rebuilder, he was done in a day. New bearings, brushes etc since both were syarting to have issues, and the total was $120

What amps should an alternator put out? Mine is reading about 11 plus.

The alternator for a MD6b should put out ~35 amps and 13.2-14.2 vdc.
For those of you need a replacement, I would go to a alternator
rebuilder for a remanufactured alternator. You might have better luck
at one near in a marine area.

Good Luck
