[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 22936, member: 4034"] I'm surprised. The first one I bought was one of the ill-fated three phase ones, and it failed after a year, as it seems many did. The "single phase mark II" supplied FOC under guarantee has lasted 5 years and some 13,000 miles. Which is little consolation to you, I expect. A friend has one on a Velo which until recently worked perfectly. It still does, but now when he connects it into the wiring loom and starts the engine it blows the main fuse. Disconnected it delivers 21 AC volts unregulated and 13 volts DC regulated, which is as it ought to be. An acquaintance learned in electrickery has told him he knows exactly what the problem is, but since he's been in Baku since he dropped the remark, we're none the wiser. If I ever find out, I'll post it. [/QUOTE]
