I run an electronic regulator designed for the purpose of running a 6V 3 brush at 12v 2 brush it was originally designed for motorcycles and it works flawlessly. However the engine must to doing at least 1500rpm to get a charge and when idling it goes negative 8 Amps. I have been thinking of buying some 12V field coils available in the UK for about 60 GBP at https://www.eics-products.co.uk/shop/cla...eld-coils/ I think these would work to reduce the current needed to get a charge.
The regulator I use came from: http://aoservices.co.uk/car.htm the only downside is you have to remove the warning lamp as it is no longer needed so will be on all the time.
