My new 26 T Roadster came with a 12v battery, positive ground. I changed it back to negative ground and went through the wiring, things did not match the T schematic. It runs real good on the 12v battery and bad on the mag, previous post. I had no output on the generator so I polarized it and it now produces. The output is 14.2v and 18 amps at road RPM. I like the volts but not the amps. At idle I get 13.6v and 1.6 amps with a digital clamp on. I have read that a T gen. will support a 12v system but I need to get the amps down. The cutout opens when shut down. I'm working with a new battery with the charge topped off. Any suggestion or information on this type of set up is welcome. Thanks PK.
 
You are currently putting out 252 watts from a 100 watt generator. You need to adjust the third brush to get the amps down. I would do that before running it again.
