The SS regulator won't help there, the mechanical one would be even better 
in fact. (The resistance of a relay contact is less than that of a turned on 
transistor, or even most MOSFETS.)  

I don't see how you could possibly get that much current (at that voltage) out 
of a standard gen at idle.  

What kind of numbers do you get at something like 2000-2500 RPM?  

Sorry, I know that's more work for you, but I also get the impression that 
you're one of those people who's actually likely to go and measure it.  ;-)
