[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 185398, member: 8785"] Your resistors are going in the mail in the morning. From your trial runs, it sounds like everything is work as expected and much better than before. As far as the original Rec/Reg, [U]going from memory,[/U] it had a diode or 2 inside that clamped the yellow winding to battery voltage. By clamping, would not allow the AC waveform to go any higher. The other winding for charging the battery was not a FWB circuit for sure. Never figured out the guts of this widget, but it did top out at about 2 to 2.5 amps. It was like Scotty on Star Trek "giving all it's got Captain". In your situation, I would expect you've got a solid 50-60 watt setup, maybe more. When you get the resistors and get them connected, will gladly walk you through being able to get close to what you have. Regardless now that you're all LED, you have a lot more capacity in the stator & Rec/Reg that you have load. [/QUOTE]
