Cycle Electric, 12-Volt generator. Black
OEM style reproduction for stock style restaurations. USA made. OEM replacement for 29975-65B. Will also fit 36-84 H-D when converting to 12 Volt. Note: When replacing 65B generator (82-84 Hitachi), add H-D #31035-58 (MCS 555773) oil deflector. Same gear can be re-used. Tech tip generator polarizing: With the motor off connect the 'F' terminal to ground and momentarily flash the 'A' terminal with positive. Remove ground from 'F' terminal. If you have properly installed a working regulator it will turn on and ground the 'F' terminal in which case you will not need to use an external ground. Caution! Do not flash the 'F' terminal. This will damage the regulator. Do not connect the battery to the Field (F terminal) as this will polarize the generator backwards. Generators in general don't forget their polarization so it is not necessary to polarize a generator from Cycle Electric Inc. unless it was connected to a battery backwards or inadvertently polarized backwards after it left the factory. Only after a long time period generators can struggle to come up and polarization can be a good idea. Tech tip maximum generator amperage: The model -65A 12 volt generator is rated at 10 amps. It is capable of producing 25 to 30 amps. If you draw 20 amps. out of a 10 amp. generator it will burn-up within 20 minutes. It is the regulator's job to limit the amps. that are drawn from the generator to 10 amps. We recommend testing your regulator when installing a new generator. Also, some regulators do not regulate amps. These should not be used. All Cycle Electric regulators will insure correct amperage regulation.
