Topic: Alternator on Farmann K30M??
The refit for Lolly Jo continues as schedules. So far, no plan to change out the Farymann K30M, which seems to run quite well. However, I have hit a snag in my rewiring, as I am not sure how this engine delivers power to the batteries, as it appears to have no alternator. There is a existing positive lead from the starter which I suspect acts as a generator of some sort of voltage to top up batteries when running.
Can anyone explain how this works? What kind of amps are generated, and how does this compare to the output of an alternator?
