Re: Poor Generator Practice
Tom: I had a local guy do the same thing to my generator, when I first got into model A's 15 years ago. I was really upset that he unnecessarily cut so much off the commutator. Besides the problems you mentioned, I thought it also (because you have less contact per revolution) would't put out as much voltage. Whether that is enough to actually make a difference or not, I'm not sure. What do you think? I guess I was looking at it like a variable speed pulley on a fixed rpm motor. Chuckkk
