Half of that bridge rectifier would perform the "both" function for

I can imagine that, a 50 amp rectifier running near 50 amps pushing a golf
cart battery might fail. I have never been tasked to repair a golf cart
charger. The larger battery and lift fork truck charg

Cool, so I wonder why anyone would not want the main and backup ignition
power source selection automated in this way, Like why experience ANY
ignition power failure in flight?
I suppose maybe some manual control for preflight testing is in order but
once you are on a takeoff roll it seems like "b
Jeff you know I like the SDS system one controller can do EFI and Spark the
other plug can be covered by the CPI unit.
I cannot find it now but there was a great Podcast on the topic of SDS VW's

Larry, Valid question and valid thoughts in my mind. For whatever reason I

front profile. I am now wondering how that helps or hurts cooling. But, I
can say it pretty much negates the ability to put a compufire ignition on

Thanks John. I am an Electrical Engineer by degree but have been in

I can tell you from my experience and I've had three complete engine failures
all three self-induced. And when that engine quits that prop stops. I have had
a 52 inch and a 54 inch prop and at 65 to 70 mile an hour it will not spin that
prop.

These are used in golf cart chargers (not sure which part number) and
they do fail at times. One question on all this extra power you
Yes, it is a bridge rectifier.. If you use two of the four diodes within,
you'll have the results I had mentioned. These are cheap and mass
produced. I have been a full time electronics technician since 1984, never
have seen one failed. They appear in a lot of equipment in the AC to DC
