    Hi guys, I'm currently having some issues with my 1991 Honda Acty. It's non ac, standard and 4wd.

    The issue I currently have is the motor runs well and idles fine.... Until I put my lights or fan motor on. Once they're on the engine stalls. Any ideas as to where to look to solve this problem?

    The alternator will pull the idle down on mine when I turn on the lights but not stall it. Maybe your idle speed is too low.

    Ah, ok I'll do some playing with it. How much does yours drop?

    I've currently got the idle set to the service manual specs (somewhere around 1100 if I remember correctly)

    It drops enough that I noticed it but I've never measured how much. You may want to check the alternator bearings.
