Re: C59A Generator Amp Info/Wiring Gauge

I believe these are rated at 30 amps. They will put out more, but that is their rating. There were some high output generators that put out 45 - 50 amps, but those were for special use.

Re: generator output

There is no need for a heavy gauge wire to polarize. It is only carrying a few amps to the fields. After loosening the belt, just use a simple jumper wire from one cutout terminal to the other...

Re: Cut out box/horn

The horn should not be connected to the cutout. Refer to the model A wiring diagram. A photo of what you are dealing with would help.
