Alternator output is pretty dismal on almost all small engines. The output on yours should be no more than 4a and that figure is at the upper RPM ranges only. The good thing is that a big battery will make it through a weekend easily. I run a standard group 24 starting battery on one of my vintage 35hp engines that has zero generator output back to the battery. Will run it for several days with multiple starts each day. </blockquote>
