Mostly for John > AKA a101960 :
When you pull the fuse for the winter time shutdown, (how long a time are we talking about) do you have to flash the field when the fuse is re-Installed, so the regulator and the Dyno are on the same page, or polarity as it were ?? My battery is disconnected and brought in the much warmer house during my 6 months of winter, and put on a half amp mini charger as that is needed. The battery is a single 6N63B1, which is a 6 amp hour small battery made by Grand Sport which is now 7 years old, and still working, but is starting to draw down from full charge faster than normal, so it is time. I would not even need a battery except my RB-108 crapped out on me I and replaced it with a DVR-2 from Mike Hutchings at Dynamore Regulators. Pretty sure you can not run without a battery when using his solid state regulator ?? If anyone knows different that would be helpful. I Have a rebuilt K2F maggy. which is a one kick starter, even with the plugs gapped at .035, that is if I do not forget and screw up the cold starting procedure.
