Oh, yeah, but isn't this thread about using more fuel when you've got P plates on or something? I don't remember. > Let's go the other way here; what alternator do you reckon a 5.7L EFI > Commode with all the fruit is equipped with? A field coil based one, so nothing much like a motorcycle[*] one anyway. Hey, guess what? After all that it looks like the XLV regulator might be a shunt design after all ... Honda, 1986. I can't work out _WHY_, though, because the power part of the design they've used is actually _MORE_ complicated than the switch-mode design I posted the little piccy of the other day, although maybe the control logic is a bit simpler. -----sharks[**] [*] Other than BMW, and probably some Guzzis I imagine, of course.

Also the air is slightly cooler (on average) at night, so engine is more efficient. -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

Thanks also to GS!! <reluctantly> Yes Hammo, on that one you and Nev are right (although there's a whole heaps of if ands and buts to add to that statement. I got 3 lines into responding to the GB/Nev thread on that and said "stuff it") His results are indeed repeatable. That doesn't mean the principle under discussion is wrong, just that the test isn't providing data that will allow a the different options to be eliminated(1). More testing required. JL (1) Yes Hammo, I'm short cutting a discussion of hypothesis testing, methodology etc not relevant or useful
