I had my generator rebuilt by a motor shop. They demonstrated to me that the lowest output is 9VDC. They suggested I install a potentiometer in series to lower the DC output to prevent overcharging the battery. I am looking at some various ideas such as inline diodes and 20k ohm resistor. Any other ideas? Any recommendations on use and care for this rebuilt 6VDC generator?

I highly recommend the voltage regulator from James Peterson and also the diode type cutout from Filling Station. They will make your generator output perfect. Contact James at: jpetersonbend@yahoo.com

Yeah that is odd, since it was designed to work with and charge a 6v system. Seems like that would FRY a 6v battery pretty quick.
I am in the process of setting and checking my Generator...
