How will you get it to 1,800 RPM? Belt drive from the PTO?

Right. I just looked at the schematic, and J10 carries power from the main generator to the rest of the system. Do you have a copy of the schematic? The best one I've found is on page 39 of the PDF file TM5-6115-585-34.pdf

Thanks Guy. It just seemed like a bit of overkill to use the enormous slave connector to connect my 4 amp charger. I think the connector might be bigger than my charger. :D No insult to anyone who does use the slave connector. It's certainly high quality.

You probably know, but a lot of 240v equipment is OK on 208v. Just check the specs to verify.

It's tinned copper, with the size shown as part of the wire number. It wouldn't be stainless steel, because of that material's poor conductivity. I'm sorry, but I don't know where you can buy wire with the same jacket as the original. I don't bother, but use good quality PVC jacketed wire...

The one I have has a sensitivity adjustment on its circuit board. I had to play with mine a little after I extended the sense wire with some shielded wire, but it works great now.

I know you're all set now with a nice way to charge, but here's an alternative I did a couple years ago. Since the charge current is low, I connected to +24v and ground inside the control cabinet of my 003A, putting a fuse in the + wire.

Actually, I wish we could simplify English a little. Remember ghoti, which is pronounced "fish"? (gh from enough, o from women, and ti from nation)

Once in a while I can tell you've been in Deutschland for quite a long time. :-D

I didn't meant to insult you, but I also didn't think the enlarged photos were that terribly small. I readily admit I've overlooked a few seemingly obvious things in my life. :)

You do know that the photos in your post will enlarge if you click on them, right?

The 72-5020 and 72-5338 are the same for all practical purposes. There are minor and insignificant differences in the ratings of a couple components, but the circuit is the same. When I designed the replacement regulator that I sell, I went though every component, looking up its NSN and...

That's what the Moto Guzzi site does, and it works OK. It's just strange if you're not used to it.

I noticed that an electric fuel pump sounded like it was sucking air.

That's OK, getting operational quickly is good, and lets you make improvements as time and money permit.

I appreciate the votes of confidence above very much, and justacitizen, I'm glad the regulator is doing its job for you.

Wow!

For the dozen or so times I run my 003A in a year, I think I'd hang a cheap wrench from a leather strap near the battery tray and remove the ground cable to disconnect the battery after running, before I'd buy that switch. On the other hand, if I ran it weekly or more often, a high quality...

Actually, removing the 24v charging regulator's fuse that's near the oil filter and fan housing will just disconnect it from the 24v battery. The battery will still remain connected to the generator's control system, so the only problem is that it will slowly discharge with the generator...

The advantage of air cooling is simplicity, and therefore reliability.
