Soild regulator?? I have

#1

Post by TOBPITBULLS »

I have a 1959 FL Panhead chopper that I am almost done restoring. It has A 12 Volt generator which has no info on who made it or where camefrom but the front light bulb is a 12 V so I am guessing it's a 12 V.
The distributor is an older advanced distributor... my question is can I use a solid-state 12 V regulator? Here is the info I found with the regulator I am going to purchase :
"""Brand New 2FastMoto Harley Davidson FL, FLH Big Twins 1965-69 and XLH Sportsters 1965-77 Electrical 12 volt Voltage Regulator in black.

Replaces the stock Harley mechanical voltage regulator. With solid state circuitry and cooling fins for superior power handling ability and reliability."""

If your generator is 12V either a 65A H-D or a copy of one that regulator should work. If the timer is just advance and not electronic it doesn't care what the voltage is. Points and condensers are not voltage sensitive. The coil is though, make sure it is 12V.
