I think the cap. is just for noise suppression.  have you tested this
with a separate meter?  Does it happen with no load so you can do that
easily?

If you can verify it this way, then you can risk getting caught up in
the alt belt and measure what's happening at the alt exciter terminal,
the battery, and a few other key places.  You should also try some
different grounding locations for the (external) meter.
