Yeppers, In THEORY AT LEAST, the Cutout Relay (which connects battery to genny) shouldnt close until genny voltage exceeeds battery voltage, but the open "relatively" unloaded voltage output of a genny is much higher then it is compared to what it becomes once coupled up to a load/battery. Sooooooo if??????? that relay latched then the fields see 12 not 6 volts and draw twice the current they were designed for (which could cause overheating) HOWEVER you raise a valid point that the voltage regulators function (if it had that versus a cutout relay and light switch system) should regulate and limit the field current so as to avoid genny harm. YES IT SEES A WELL CHARGED BATTERY AS YOU MENTIONED in theory at least NO WARRANTY
But I still just dont like the idea of a 12 volt battery wired to a 6 volt charging system cuz if he lets the smoke out then Im the bad guy grrrrrrrrr
BUT if he were to simply unhook the wire off the BAT on a Cutout Relay or a Voltage Regulator (to alieve my worries above) and if he has a Mag Id say he can stick a 12 volt battery in her and not turn on any lights and run her till the cows come home as all the battery is then doing (until it eventually runs down from starting her) is temporarioly run the staretr motor now n then
Oh well, we pretty well beat this to death but were havin fun

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
