[Shotimes] Bad Alternator

[Jonathon Beisler]

Pretty sure, like I said it was dark and raining, but at idle and when I reved the engine, it seemed to speed up and slow down.  The battery light was flickering so, I am hoping that might be it.  I haven't been able to go get it yet, I'm on my way as soon as the wife can take me.  I'll know more when I get it back to the house.
