Hay guys what is the output of the generating system of a Scat? I think the spark system is separate from the lighting system. The magnito systems are unfamiliar to me. I don't know the output of them but I'm concerned that they might produce Alternating Current, not the direct current of the battery systems 6Volt generator. If the Scat's lighting system is 6volt AC you can get a transformer to provide 12volt AC. The 6v to 12v converter is a DC only system to allow a CD player in a STOCK show 1951 Chevy. I got my 1-7/8" cubical converter from a hot-rod shop online. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I am building a scat and I have no electrical yet. I just got a 20's lucas tail light and I was going to run 4 led turn indicators that were meant for 12v but the manufacturer said that they would still be brighter than any 6v running on a Scat electrical system. I bought a 50's Royal Enfield headlight and it has an electrical monitoring gage on it and a switch built in and it can run on either 6 or 12volts. Can I get a booster to power to and then run the led signals off of just incase? And by not having a battery will my little engine have enough to power the spark, signal lights and my headlight? Not that they will all be in use at one time and I suspect I wouldn't ride at night for more than an hour. Thanks for the info so far. More would be awesome. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I put a 6v to 12v converter in my headlight bucket and run my lights through this, I cannot see how you'd rewind the generator to put 12 volts out. but my experience is with slot cars.. I also use only LEDs for running lights (& a 55watt high beam) these running lights draw less than 1/4 what the original would and If I'd gotten the charging system working I could probably maintain the battery with the generator. I rode for 4.5 hours on one charge. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Is there a way to switch a hummer from 6 volts to 12? Let me know. Thanks |
