There were concerns about runaway regulators causing large over voltage. I do not recall any of these concerns coming from actual experience, but my memory is dim on that. I would like to hear from anyone with experience with integrated alternator/ regulator systems, and suggestions as to which units (I'm told Honda has a nice one) might be suitable.<<<< Hi Jim, I'd suggest that you go to Bob Nuckolls' site (www.aeroelectric.com) and read the article he has there on internally regulated alternators and over-voltage protection. Bob is "The Man" when it comes to aero electrics (thus the name) and I doubt that you'll ever go wrong following his advice. Just my 2c.
