Energy Rotary spool valve
Good evening, I am trying to understand the operation of this valve, the valve has what I assume to have 3 positions, right (forward) left (reverse) and center position which I assume should have no flow and act as the stopped position, I am correct.
The valve P/N 10240 .

Re: 30 amp alternator
Thanks, from what I remember seeing, the alternator was connected directly to the shaft with a Love Joy coupling.

Good morning, anyone know anything about a Bosch AB33 magneto? I have taken it all apart, installed a new cap cleaned completely as it was submerged in saltwater, now only get a weak spark when using an inline spark plug tester, any thoughts?
Thanks
