The set-up as run...



Just grasping at straws here. I did not have any 10 gauge wire on hand so I paralleled two 12 gauge wires to the battery positive and a short 10 gauge ground from the alternator case to a head.

Edit: Just re-read the instructions and it states no Jegs alternators are designed to to be spun beyond 15,000rpm (6000 engine rpm). I can try it one more time with a large crank pulley or purchase another brand alternator. At this juncture I just want one that works without worry.
Just a heads up....

I think that you have it backwards....

Big crank pulley & small alternator pulley = overdrive

Small crank pulley & large alternator pulley = under-drive

4" crank pulley with 2" alt pulley at 7,000 rpm engine RPM = 14,000 alternator RPM

2" crank pulley with 4" alt pulley at 7,000 rpm engine RPM = 3,500 alternator RPM

Hope this makes sense to you and helps......

Bob
