alternator 6 or 12 volt

I assume you mean pick it up with the screwdriver it doesn't so a new rotor as well !!!! what about output standard be sufficient or high output ? thanks Chris

I would expect a new Lucas (or Wassell/Emgo) rotor to be adequate-although Sparx say their rotors have higher power magnets that increase output, however, I've never used one-so I can't say if they increase output significantly or not?
 
The encapsulated rotors style Lucas rotors are all 74mm diameter LAB did quote 72mm ?
 
I will be getting a pair anyway but there is a high output (16 amp) 2 wire 12 volt stator advertised on ebay ( 161907235239 ) which for roughly the same price as standard seems worth a punt as I am going with Boyer or similar electronic ignition as well and if they tell me it will work, one of there power boxes so I can do without a battery, opinions welcomed many thanks Chris
 
Thanks for your replies everyone I now have my new encapsulated rotor and stator and also the 2 half circle rings which obviously fit between the rotor and stator but can anyone tell me how to fit them without getting brutal as it seems to make fitting impossible many thanks Chris

I'm not sure what you mean by half circle rings? :?

Do you mean the two semi-circular sheet metal 'magnet keeper' plates that often come attached to new rotors by any chance?

If so, they should be removed and discarded as there must be a gap of approximately .008" between rotor and stator.

Hi again everyone yet another problem with the alternator what a pain this is I will start a new thread and head it more alternator problems
 
Hi L.A.B. or anyone who knows which colour replaces which you previously sent me some info on my alternator (quote)
Those "green and cream" wires are in fact green/yellow, and green/white! The other being a green/black.
If the green/yellow and green/white wires are connected together ahead of the rectifier then it should operate as a 12V stator.

I have now upgraded to a 12v encapsulated type also 3 wire but the colours are different they are yellow, red. green can you tell me how I should connect them thanks Chris
