Bill,
I purchased two of these. They are in the 5-6#
range. They turn on at 1250 rpms and reach max output around 5-6k if I
remember correctly. They are a replacement for the GEO / Suzuki alternators. I
have know idea of the quality. I did have two large pulley machined to match
main pulleys rpms in hopes it would slow these down enough to extend their life.

I need a small 60A alternator for my rotary. Does anyone
have a lester number or know the year/model of a suitable alternator? I
perfer Mitsubishi but ND would be OK. I will want to modify it for
external field shutdown, but would perfer to use the internal regulator. I
have little room under my cowl, so it needs to be 4 to 4.5 inches in diameter,
weigh about 7 lbs.
Hi
Bill,
I've used two of these,
and you can indeed turn them on and off via the control wire. I'm not sure
it's exactly a field wire, but probably more like an input to the internal
regulator.
Van's includes an internally
regulated 60A alternator in their FWF kit, and I believe it has the ability
to be turned on and off as well. My kit is coming next Tuesday, so I'll
know more about it when it arrives.
Cheers,
Rusty
