If you have any larger capacitors laying around (or can salvage one from an old power supply or something) I might suggest putting it in parallel with the 330uf with some alligator leads as a test to see if that fixes it. The smallest one that does the job should minimize the wear and tear on that diode.

The metro alternator is a one wire? Can you expand on the alternator disconnect system a bit too?

Thx,
Dave.
