Hi
I am getting sick of having to charge the Zephyr's battery
on almost a weekly basis. This is due to the short trips
I do to the station (about 3 miles). As soon as the voltage
drops a bit, it gets harder and harder to start.
SO-o-o I want to fit an alternator which hopefully will keep
the battery topped up. (Note that I've fitted stronger sealed
beams and on highbeam, the ammeter is -ve by a few amps.)
I believe that fitting an alternator is not too difficult
mechanically, maybe need a spacer to use the existing mounting
brackets.
My questions relate to the electrics ... as the alternator has
the regulator built in, which wire goes where?
Complicating factor: I need to be able to reverse the situation
back to original for my racing class. Thus I need to leave the
regulator in place and be able to plug the generator back in.
Standing by for net.wisdom
