With the lights off and an engine speed approx in the range of 20MPH the generator would be set in the 4-6 amps depending on driving conditions. While I would have to do the math, the KR Wilson generator testing and setup stand would be spinning the generator in approx the 900-1000 RPM range for setup. At 10 amps with the lights on is too high esp so if setup at idle speeds. As RPM increase so does output. The cutout is not a limiting device so as long as the points are closed the line voltage is going somewhere, lights battery etc. At 10 amps on a long drive would be good way to overcharge and boil your battery. That is why the output was set depending on the season and how much the cars were driven. Short trips higher base output, longer trips lower output.

While the diode type cutout replacement is not hard to find, the Fun-Project actual regulator has been hit/miss for sometime re availability.
