[Mg-t] Dynamo output

[Gerald Felper]

John
The XPAG generator is rated at about 15 amps maximum which is 180  
watts. The ign. system takes about 5 amps depending on the power of  
the coil which is 60 watts just to operate the engine. Most halogen  
lamps do not take much more power (current) than standard lamps. They  
just are brighter. If each head lamp is 50 watts that does not leave  
much margin at night.
