Comment on Electrical system for a golf cart? by Ecko

These labels mean Dynamo +, Dynamo - and Dynamo field. The plus and minus are the auxiliary output just for the regulator if there is a B+ on the alternator. The field is fed from the regulator, and this is the smaller wire or connection usually. The link below shows the connections. The ignition/charge warning light is necessary to get the alternator started.

The wire from B+ to the battery handles the full output current of the alternator.
The regulator connections are all 10A automotive wire.
The minus side of the battery is grounded at the engine body and this carries the full starter motor current. It is possible there is another ground connection for the lights etc. This goes to the battery negative.
There must be a connection between the battery and the alternator frame that can carry the full alternator output. This may be the engine body through the starter motor ground.

Some alternators have the regulator built in to the brush holders. The old mechanical regulator will only work if both are thesame voltage, like 12V.

If in doubt you can always get an auto electrician to do it. Do the wiring as you think and get them to "fix it", so the labour is less.

Comment on What is the difference between a regular snowmobile and a sno pro snowmobile? by TheMechanic

TheMechanic — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:51:59 +0000

Sno Pro = Deeper snow, and a bigger belt
F6 = Normal drviving, not made for off-piste

Same engines, seating and all that, given that they are the same year.

Comment on Money gram scam question? by kittycat karin

You’re right not to wire any money to this guy - definitely smells like a scam. As far as MG having your info, I don’t think you’re in danger. Be sure to check out FBI warnings, ripoff report & complaints board. Here’s a great list of resources for scam-checking:

MOST newer alternators have the rectifiers and regulator built in and therefore put out DC AND regulate it.
Check with the snowmobile company.
IF this is so, you do NOT need the regulator, just one connection to ground and the BAT connection to battery. (The BAT connection on the alternator is the one that is insulated from the frame of the alternator.)
IF not, then obtain the proper regulator and/or rectifier for the engine you are going to use. They should come with wiring instructions.

Not a V-max. A V-max is a speed bike that has AMAZING acceleration. It is not a good starter though. Get a yamaha V-star. It is the most common bike for beginners and it’s not very expensive

At 5′ tall, you’d probably be more comfortable on a cruiser - nothing more than a 500cc to start with. But the smaller sport bikes - Ninja 250 or 500 - would probably also work. I am 5′4" and have trouble on any bike with a seat higher than 30". But with 10K to spend, you can always get a bike lowered a bit to make it more manageable and/or get some killer high-heel boots. I’d suggest hitting some bike shops and sitting on different bikes to see what feels comfortable. Oh…also, sign up for the beginner’s motorcycle class offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (see link below). Even if you already have some experience, the class can teach you invaluable lessons for street riding. AND graduating from the class can lower insurance premiums.

Comment on polaris snowmobile suspension upgrade? by Linda R

Linda R — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 19:41:59 +0000

Your best bet would be to go to your local Polaris dealer. They have all the books, that have the options for the entier sled, including the suspension, as well. They can look in these books, and tell you, which upgrade or upgrades will work best for your sled, and your situation, as well.

Someone your size I would say a Yamaha Virago 250 or a Honda Rebel 250. The Yamaha is much more comfortable. My wife started out on a Rebel 250 but now has a Honda VLX 600 and it does great for her and she is about 125 lbs. Hope this helps you.
