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 - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
