So anyway I've had it out rebuilt it, everything except windings. I noticed it's stamped 12V on the case. My system is 6 volt. So maybe the case was off a 12 volt? Maybe the whole generator is a 12 volt? The voltage regulator is 6 volts for sure. So here's my stupid question can I use a 12 Volt generator in a 6 volt system?
Gracias in Advance, Kip

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Adios, Kip
