Were not in a fight.  I've already won the argument and you're struggles
with the genny the proof of that fact.
If you struggles are to no avail then you car ends up in the field with a
tree growing through it.
That's all that is at stake here.

As of yet nobody with an alternator conversion has complained about anything
on this list.

Be thankful there are commrades in arms willing to share in your suffering
and to drown our sorrows in our own 
beer and you not having to buy us one.  It is a great thing of this Internet
age.

Now, let's see if I can help.  Do you have the
"Lucas_Generator_and_Control_Box_Tests" document?
It's pretty handy for dihards like yourself. I will email it to you off list
expediantly.   

Even the generator is pretty simple.  The big wire out the generator is
where all the output comes.  The little wire
is the field.  The field is an input.  If there is no field current applied
then there is no output from the generator.
The regulator senses the drop in battery voltage and applies field current
when needed (assuming the regulator is adjusted correctly)    

You said it was new and adjusted so don't mess with your regulator. 

Run the tests outlined in the document and let us know of the resuilts.
