6 Volt Generator for 292
Hey guys. I was wondering if there are new or rebuilt 6 volt generators available that will work in a 292? My 53 has a 292 in it and is going to be all 6 volt positive ground. I already have a new generator voltage regulator and wiring for a generator so I wanted to see if there was a generator option instead is switching to a alternator. Thanks

Were it me, I'd find a good used 6 volt generator off that auction site or a junkyard. They are cheap, because the demand for 6 volt units is about nonexistent. Shipping might be kind of high. Then rebuild it yourself, it's pretty simple. Bearings and brushes, basically. Maybe someone here at FTE has one they'd let you have at a decent cost. Not too many die-hard 6 volt enthusiasts out there left. Be sure to use nothing less than 00 ("double ought") battery and ground cables for everything.

Yikes! That's not a generator, that's a small, el-cheapo alternator stuffed in a case, designed to look like a generator. $500 (+ shipping, and whatever your governor's cut). I doubt they are positive ground? I didn't check.

Is the generator for a 292 different than the 223? I converted mine to 12V and have the generator in a box somewhere.
