    So I'm headin down the highway and all of a sudden the bike loses power, lights go out, and I'm slowing down. Like a dummy I didn't have tools with me, so there wasn't much I could've done anyway. I pulled into a parking lot after coasting about 1/4 mile, and had hell starting the bike back up...

    An '81 H Pamco EAdv and HHB PMA I have been getting no charging of my battery due to no output from the stator. The other day I took the rotor off and inspected it. It was clean as could be, but the unit had gotten hot enough to melt the logo off of the rotor. I took the stator off and...

    Home Brew PMA

    Looking at an XS stator on eBay, a thought occurred to me, instead of powering the windings in the stator to create a magnetic field to induce current in the rotor windings to generate electricity, why not machine a rotor to replace the original and embed magnets in it to induce a current in...
