[SEL] DELCO LIGHT PLANT HELP NEEDED

[Alan]

The one I have is an auto start Delco light plant.
You turn on the motor and the engine starts.
The friend that I bought it from says it must have a load to run it.
Back in it's working days the load was a bank of batteries.
I got it with some 32 Volt light bulbs, a power hack saw with a 32 Volt motor plus another 32 Volt motor on an old pump and a small sink for the water.

Hi Ron,

My Delco light plant runs with three 12v automotive cooling fans in series as a 36v
load.  It works great.  The fans have really large fan blades and are mounted in
wooden box frames with hardware cloth over the openings.  With longish electrical
cords, the three fans can be spread out and provide a really nice breeze on hot show
days.  I don't know if it's necessary to have a load on a light plant or not.

See ya,  Arnie
