<x-charset iso-8859-1>Jim wrote, 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? =========================================================== Good gen ? My engine revs a liittle higher than 1000 rpm during no load idle. I did not actually measure the RPM but I played the RPM by ear, I can measure it and give you the data this weekend. The voltage out of the generator D+ is much higher than the voltage out of the regulator. With the red wire disconnected it goes up to 32-34 volts and with the load I noticed it above 15 volts, I guess that is what the regulator is for. My checks were all done without reving the engine while holding the meter in one hand and making sure there was a good connection on the other. Maybe my meter is inaccurate, looks like those metal/glass Borg-Warner types for a truck dash and says made in Taiwan. Looks like good quality but it cost me just 5 dollars in Mexico.
