[QUOTE="john998, post: 110457, member: 289"] Hello, Have sent the DVR2 regulator back to the suppliers it is caput. Have now run 2 Chinamos and one Miller in the lathe with a set up to double the lathe max speed to 2500RPH. It turns out that the Chinamo starts out putting at higher revs than the Miller. One Chinamo needed 1920 RPM to produce 12 volts at 2.7 amps and the other 2200 RPM for the same output. The Miller produces the same output at 1520 RPM. The new AO car regulator was no use as it would not kick in till 55MPH in top gear still with the Chinamo. So this was replaced with the bike version of the AO, no better, still slow at kicking in and over charging at higher revs. Have now fitted a Chinese copy of a Lucas RB 108 and it works perfectly, balancing ignition and lighting loads around 45 MPH in top and not over charging. This must be due to the electrical characteristics of the Chinamo. I am tempted to refit the Miller with the AO regulator but cannot face the struggle with the sidecar in the way, perhaps this winter? John. [/QUOTE]
