  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Float the ground questions 06

As far as original question goes about converting to all DC, your best bet would be a new stator and regulator, the stock regulator will not work for all DC. You can use the stock stator but you have to make it single phase (one single continuous wire through all the coils) and use an aftermarket rectifier/regulator. I did this on my 05 TE and get around 100 watts out of it with a rewound stator. There are several sites online to guide you through that if its what you want to do, also how to rewind the stator yourself, really not that difficult.
 
I'm running a Spal fan on my 07 TC450 with electric start and used the 12v connector in the harness for the front light to run it. But since I switched to Engine Ice I have not needed to switch it on, but I do to just to run it it. I also just put in a high flow water pump, just to be safe since I run a Rekluse and ride single track. :popcorn:

Why exactly won't the stock regulator work if I simply float the ground

I believe some of the stock components run on AC and the regulator is set up to use the stock power from the stator which is not single phase, when you "float the ground" you are making the stator output single phase power, the regulator/rectifier must match.
