[QUOTE="69ST, post: 183877, member: 5"] This is the crux of the entire issue, imho. They did intend the system to bias the output toward the HL circuit. (Which begs the question: "what would happen if the yellow & white leads were swapped at the wire harness-to-stator plug?"...I expect that would only "free up" 2-5W max.) From an OEM perspective, it made sense...cheap and effective...for a while. Obsolete tech considerations aside, the laws of physics have a lo-o-ng shelf life. If there were a way to lift the coil ground, there's probably enough copper windings to deliver an acceptable amount of current to a full-wave reg/rec unit, which segues neatly into my ridiculous-idea-of-the-day. Is it possible to partially unwind the coil, splice & insulate to create one continuous winding and would anyone be motivated enough to try?o_O [/QUOTE]
