Re: CS-144 140amp alternator upgrade howto

One thing I don't see addressed here is a mention of wire gauge change when doing this upgrade. Swapping from a 60-74amp alt to a 140amp unit should also include increasing the charging wire size from everything I've read.

Those of you that have done the swap, what did you do?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
