Paul
Do you remember someone adapt a stattor from Harley Davidson for 12 volts
power
source to Tracy front plate and i try to find those photos
Did you had some report of trial from this guy??


Jean Prudhomme

I could not find any messages on the subject but it does not
have the 300 volt coils for the ignition system. Just makes
a good alternator.

Paul Lamar


Yes Paul but we received all installation photo and it can be a good
reference
to see how he install the flywheel and also the set up on the plate ,i
saved
those photos but i can,t put my hand on.
May be he reads your e-mail and if he can reply with the past informations


Jean Prudhomme

It may have come from the idea from the Revmaster version.


Here is an old message on the subject.

Joe Horvath of Revmaster has developed a flywheel alternator
that should fit our needs if it will live at 7500 RPM.
Since it is a four cylinder it will work perfectly with
the rotary. Also the CD ignition might work great. If so it will
be a major improvement in simplicity and reliability.


I need to talk to him tomorrow.

We need to do away with the common belt that drives both the water
pump and the alternator. Another source of failure.

Looks VERY much like an adapted Harley alternator

The key difference is the high voltage coils used to charge the
capacitor discharge ignition found on the Revmaster system just
like those found on outboard motors and some lawn mowers.
The Harley does not have that.


Paul Lamar

Actually I was just thinking of it as a space-saving, lightweight
alternator.
brian gochnauer

They really don't put out that much current. There are some small
alternators on the market from Kubota that would weigh roughly the
same for about the same current.

I think the big advantage would be doing away with the belt
drive. It really gets advantages when you put a couple of high
voltage (300) coils in there to charge a capacitor discharge ignition
system. That not only saves weight but it is far cheaper than
a full blown MSD cap discharge ignition system. It is the HV switching
power supply in these MSD systems that cost the big bucks.

Paul some Harley ignition pick up might interesting

They may not work because of the firing order. It is a 2 cyl
4 stroke engine that odd fires as I recall.
