Specifications

Minimum values should read:

2500 R.P.M. - 24.0 Volts A.C.

3000 R.P.M. - 29.0 Volts A.C.

3300 R.P.M. - 32.0 Volts A.C.

3600 R.P.M. - 35.0 Volts A.C.

If less than above output, generating coil assembly

is defective.

NOTE: If there is no regulator in this system. The

total output of the two diodes is three (3)

AMPS. If the battery is overcharging (boiling

and bubbling), reduce the D.C. input by

one-half by removing one of the diodes.

This unit combines a 3 Amp D.C. system used to

charge a battery and a 5 Amp A.C. system used for

lighting. Located in the red wire of the harness is a

diode which converts the alternating current to

direct current for charging the battery. The yellow

wire provides the A.C. voltage for the lighting circuit.

A wire harness (part# 36588) may be added to the

3 Amp D.C./5 Amp A.C. charging system to power

an electric clutch without the use of a battery. Test

the diode in the harness by doing a continuity test

(diag. 77).

Replace the diode if continuity exists after reversing

tester leads or if no continuity is found.

CHECKING THE SYSTEM: To check the system,

disconnect the plug and measure the D.C. voltage

at the red wire terminal (diag. 75). Measure the A.C.

voltage at the yellow wire terminal. With the engine

running the minimum values should be:

5 AMP A.C.

3 AMP D.C.
