Hi all,
Ive got one of those ebay electric start kits for my honda gx340, and im familiar with wiring up the larger honda gx620's and high amperage charging systems.... but this has me stumped.
Whats up with this one wire charge coil?
ELECTRIC START KIT FLYWHEEL STARTER MOTOR INGNITION HONDA GX340 11HP GX390 13HP | eBay
So since its one coil, I'm assuming its 3-5amps (probably 3 since its cheap).
Im no electrical expert, but i know that battery (-) goes to ground, heavy gauge wire, battery (+) goes heavy gage to solenoid, and two hot wires for the key switch go from solenoid bolt to solenoid spade connector.
Now when i hook up this charge coil, im assuming its automatically grounded, so that takes care of the (-) and the (+) would be directly wired to the battery(+), or the bolt on solenoid.... and thats got me thinking.
What if it overcharges the battery if im running no lights or anything else?
What options do i have out there for a regulator, or regulator rectifier? I cannot for the life of me find any regulator/rectifier that is for such a small amperage charge coil.
