Weird charging problem. Or maybe not?

Yes indeed. You are quite right. My engine is lovely, very lovely. On the other hand, it is modest in power. That's said, it gets me everywhere I want to go. I adore it.

I was skeptical of the 2GM in my 38ft'r .... based on my 25ft'r having a Perkins 4-107 ... basically more than double the HP ... but so far - the 2GM has been good as gold.
