6 volt VS 8 Volt

HenryO · Jul 28, 2014

OK, thanks to all the replies, I decided to start with the 8 volt battery. I had the generator in the shop for new parts and set the cutout for 8 volts also. That wasn't too smart, should have been 9 volts but I will correct that later. Have 00 cables on both positive ground and negative to starter. Although it is a shortstop repair it is what I needed till this winter when a complete overhaul will be attempted. Thanks guuys for all your input. Made me think long and hard about all of this, Henry

You got something mixed up as there isnt any settings on a cut-out for voltage.

Reglulators with cut-out relays have voltage adjustments for the cut-out relay. I'm talking regulators that are combined current and voltage regulators.

For example: A Delco reg model 1118265 is adjusted to these settings with a 6 volt battery:

Cut-out relay .020" air gap, .020" point gap, closing voltage range set to be 5.9 to 7 volts

Voltage reg relay .075" air gap, voltage range 6.6 to 7.2 volts.

The cutout regulator showed cutting out at 8.1volts. This was done by a person that has over 60 years working on these generators and carburators.everyone in the farm community here takes their stuff to him because he can do things that others seem not to have even heard of. So, AS he showed me what was going on, I have a tendancy to believe him. And I appreciate all your input but no one even addressed the starting by pulling opposed to cranking.
