Connect the alternator's #1 "excite" terminal to the ignition switch with a simple "idiot light" or 3 Amp 1000 PIV diode in the lead. (If you have magneto ignition, you can use an oil pressure switch that cuts in at about 4 PSI to engergize the "excite" circuit.)

Jumper the #2 "sense" terminal to the large output stud.

The diode can be had surplus for a few cents, or not over a buck or two at an electronics supply.

Then you can use a salvage yard 10SI alternator with NO NEED for the special "one wire" internal conversion, AND it will charge at low RPM's just as it is!

Cost {around here) of a good working salvage 10SI alternator... $10.00 to $25.00, plus cost (max) of diode $2.50... Is $11.00 to $27.50 cheap engough for you?

Try buying a voltage regulator for your old generator or replacing the old generator for that kind of money!
