When I purchased my Jubilee a few years ago, it was converted over to 12v. Bubba could have done a better job. Ammeter wasn't wired, they used old wires, brittle insulation. It was a fire waiting to happen.
I scratched my head, used pencil and paper and made a wiring diagram before I started rewiring. There were 3 circuits, charging, ignition and lights. Each circuit got fused. I used 10g wire for the charging circuit, it got a 30a circuit breaker. The other two circuits were wired with 14g, 15 amp fuses.
Some people gave me a toung lashing for using a 30 amp circuit breaker on a 47 amp alternator. Well, the circuit breaker has NEVER failed. Alternator is lucky to put out 15 amps. No electrical fires and never lost fuse one.
