Thumbs up Battery still Drains with New Alternator 91 Accord

I finally received the OEM Pulley on the 7th Oct and put it on the car. When i took off the old pulley it came off in 2 pieces.

The outer ring with the groves separated from the rubber. Now the car charges at 14.11 volts when idling so i guess that was my problem.

Now i have to fix a squeaky belt because i think it's on too tight.

Thanks for all your advice you have been a big help.

i just started working on my brothers 93 lx,and he keeps loosing voltage.we removed the alt,and had it tested and it is fine,the battery is 2 weeks old,and when it is running the voltage drops and keeps dropping untill we shut off the car(we used a volt meter,and battery charger).now im looking for broken wires and fuses.any ideas.

Besides some listed in the thread you posted in? I didn't re-read this but have you confirmed the pulley is not slipping...

any stored codes?

are the readings at the battery or the alt?
