Predator 212, Any way to get a charging for a 12 volt battery from one of the HF engines?

In a nutshell......no. There are ways to do it, but it will cost more than what the motor costs.

I copied this from another recent thread of mine:

I have a 6.5 greyhound that doesn't have charging coils. I bought a 2.5" CIM motor and I plan to run it as a generator off a sprocket behind the CVT on my gokart. The sprocket would take the place of the spacer between the engine and the fixed drive face. I just need to design a regulator for it. If the motor has enough torque to turn over the engine it'll double as a starter. I plan to undertake this project in the winter.

This seems to come up quite a bit. I'm not a young man. In my day, there were bicycle generators that could operate a headlight.

Why, oh why, in this day and age of LED lights, and lithium batteries.. Is this so tough?

The Hemi Predator can run the flywheel and charge coils from a Kohler CH270

A non Hemi I assume.

Incorrect. The hemi and the Kohler have the same flywheel taper. The non-hemi is a taper all its own.

Demand versus cost.
