Yes. The third brush in the generator is probably adjustable. This adjustment limits the high charge rate. To put out moe voltage/current, set the adjustment closer to the fixed brush (closest to it). If still no joy, make sure the gen belt is tight enough (like a car belt) and the regular big fan belt is not way too loose (1.5inch deflection with hard thumb pushing is OK, less movement is OK to 1.25) too tight and waterpump bearings go out. A sure way to tell if the gen can put out enough (and if there is too much resistance in the Field wire going to the light switch or resistance in the light switch ground) is to ground the F terminal on the gen with a jumper, then start it and run it at 3/4 throttle. If it charges plenty then, replace the Field wire going to the switch with 12ga, and clean the connections and grouinding of the light switch, and the box, and the pedistal. Resistance in teh ground can be troublesome. When charging at 3/4 throttle into a charged battery, the voltage should be 7 to 7.2. Jim
