1986-88 Acura Legend - Low Charging Rate

Some 1986-88 Acura Legend Sedans/Coupes and 1987-91 Sterlings (Bosch Reman. p/n AL250X) may exhibit a low charging rate condition. This situation is caused by an alternator pulley of incorrect diameter. To correct this condition, the vehicle manufacturer has issued a pulley/belt kit which contains a smaller diameter pulley and belt. This pulley/belt combination increases the alternator RPM which in turn increases the alternator output at low engine RPM.
