tech notes:
These are new, not rebuilt and do not have a core charge.
1973-1974 models which used the original AL78 alternator with the three wire plug will require some rewiring to use this alternator. Very straightforward to do, though.
On some models, depending on your engine and carb set-up, your carb accelerator arm may hit the casing of this alternator. This can be alleviated by running a spacer under your carb or doing some grinding on the alternator housing to clear the arm.

This alternator will retrofit the stock generator on all upright engines except 25/36hp 1200ccs. For 40hp conversions, we recommend getting our Alternator Conversion Kit if you are converting from 6v. For 1300-1600cc engines, you only need to replace the generator stand, strap, fuel pump, fuel pump pushrod, fan belt, and generator pulley.

Some 1973 models came with generators while some later ones came with AL78 alternators (on occasion some very early 1974 models did the same). This alternator will retrofit both style on both years.

detailed description:
55 amp - internal regulator
quality issues:
None noted. We are no longer able to get a consistent supply of the Bosch-made alternator so we are now offering this Chinese reproduction. These have been on the market for a while with no reported problems and the price is significantly below the Bosch unit.
