Ok i have a tillitson 212 hemi electric start engine and i have questions about the charging system. Currently im using the charging system to charge the battery which powers my lights. I have a 15 watt, 900 lumen tractor supply led light for a headlight and two tiny incandescent bulb, trailer clearance lights for my tail lights and i believe from what i read they are 5 watts a piece.
Anyway, I have a new battery from go powersports and when my battery runs down, half the leds shut off in the led headlight but the two rear incandescent taillight bulbs are fine. I dont think im getting enough power to to keep my battery charged in turn causing my led light to drop out. So now i have some questions for you guys and keep in mind im a beginner in more in depth wiring as ive only wired switches, lights and other basic things but i do not understand the more technical things.
1. How many watts and amps does it produce
2. Do they have voltage regulators? If not, do i need one? What do they do other than regulate voltage?
3. Do the coils produce AC or DC and can either charge a battery?
4. In the case i need more watts or amps, do i need to change out my stock coils for higher power ones and rewire it? Or would i have to install a transformer?
5. Is there anyway to rig up a miniature alternator or generator to run off the crankshaft or jackshaft to charge the battery?.
Thanks to all who replies and Happy New Year.
