I wanted originally to remove it, but the "soft" hammer I was using refused to make it budge. I was also thinking of installing a high capacity aftermarket alternator, but there are very few (read none) places for me to mount it to run a belt - the motor is air-cooled.The only reason that I am hesitant to try a trial-and-error approach to solving this is that I read on some site that not having a ground, or a positive, or something to one of the wires in an externally rectified and regulated alternator can fry the thing in seconds.Melli suggested that I weld bolts onto the flywheel to remove it, which I think is most definitely the way I'm going to approach this if I can't figure it out soon.I will keep the list up to date if I manage to find the correct wiring.</blockquote>
