Re: Bigtwin generator question
Yes, they do work....A lot better than people would have you believe. They put out a solid 10 amps, voltage regulated. Compare to the average alternator equipped motor that only puts out 6 amps, unregulated. True, the DC generator does not work at idle, but the 6 amp alternators only supply a negligable output at idle too.
One thing about DC generators is they haven't been used for so many years that anybody that knows how they work is getting old (like me). Some day you young whippersnappers will have to learn or junk them. Unfortunately, the latter seems to be the mood. Probably junk us too.
