Black Bomber not charging
royhall:
That's right Bryan positive amps. Do you think that's good enough. I was surprised at the extra boost with the lights on due to the other coils cutting in. Perhaps I should always run with the lights on.
AshimotoK0:
That sounds a lot better Roy
This graph shows the currents/voltages for the 5-speed alternator without and with the voltage regulator connected.

Bryanj:
Are you using standard or led bulbs?
royhall:
Standard bulbs.
Bryanj:
Must just be a characteristic of the charging coils, it looks similar to the old Lucas system where there were 3 charge levels,
1 two coils charging with the other 4 shorted, this caused the coils to reduce the effective magnetic field of the rotor
2 two coils charging with other 4 open circuit, increased mag field slightly improved charging
3 all 6 coils charging full output depending on revs
