Tecumseh 6HP alternator 5/3 amp

[Boots Electric]

Picked up a NOS on this engine today. I have a heald VT7 kind of frankenstein operation going on. It has a headlight and mount for tail light. Looking for any wiring diagrams or anything that may help me explore getting the headlight and taillight operating properly with a battery or just off the AC current that has a diode making it a DC power supply. I would probably prefer doing the battery way. But if it that is a dumb idea let me know Even directing me at another post is cool anything that walks through an electric system from the ground up! Thanks in advance.

I have found this http://www.smallenginesuppliers.com/html/engine-specs/tecumseh/Tecumseh_quick_reference.pdf which I plan to use unless I get some better advice from a person as opposed to an owner's manual.

Welcome to the OldMiniBikes forum.

Drew a couple diagrams for Tecumseh engines, you may need something a bit different, can draw something to match what you have if you send photos or details.

This one has 2 rectifiers, fuse, battery, switch and a headlight

This one powers a headlight and tail light, straight from generated AC power

My set up will be a tail light, head light (high low beam and on off switch on the light fixture) Not sure if the ac power out has the power to handle that head light. If not I will need to add a battery. Either a key or an off/on switch would be needed if I used the battery.
