Re: Generator to Alternator conversion

The Powermaster unit looks darn close. I recently installed one and couldn't be happier.
Go with it!

Re: Synthetic oil in a Model A

The only draw back I could see is the lack of ZDDP. But I guess you could buy a bottle of
some and add it?

Re: 20-0-20 amp meter

I run the Powermaster 6V alternator, and just like Dick M. said, it's not a problem. I just don't know why the Powermaster instructions state that you shouldn't run the alternator through the amp...

Re: Front Radius rod / rubber ball

If the ball isn't worn too bad, I would use some steel washers and take a ball pein

Re: Air Filter or not

I run a K & N filter and never looked back. I don't care what they did

The Wix filter is good and I use that with what I said before. No need to overthink

Re: Fuel Filter issue

Go to a hardware store or lawnmower shop and buy the in line
filter for a 8 to 16 hp motor. They are small, but will allow gas to drop down

Re: Generator / Charging issue

That's what I'm trying to figure out. The question really is can a weak/bad battery cause this situation?

You are using distilled water right?
50/50 on the anti freeze right?
Pure anti freeze will make it over heat.

Leakless pumps work great. Problem is they are
