Dave I didn't know about this beta engine when I was at it, I really like the double alt aspect, but how much power does it take away from the engine? The Yannie give 29 HP and I reckon with a high output alt I'll lose about 6hp. What made you go with adverc in the UK, their stuff seems good but quite pricey? I have used xantrex and ample power for my stuff.
