As far as adjusting a reg. or other things that us old farts remember,
there are people that should be banned from using tools, then there are others that are learning and need to know, and want to know.
We just never know anyone's abilities or lack of them.
So one has to shoot for the medium trying to give experience and recommendations, yet allow allow new ideas, and individual thoughts.
Out of the box thinking is what made this world a better place as we all know.
Problem is down the road someone reads a posting or a yall tubers and says well this guy wacked his starter motor and now it runs fine but nobody mentioned the difference of PM Maggots vs field coils.
We could go on and on till congress convenes on a cold day in hell but we try not.
Just like tightening fasteners, goot "N" tight has a lot of leeway.

Yes I remember the days when everything was 6 volt and 3 brush generators with just a cutout that sometimes stuck and you woke to a dead Bat-tree.
----out came the crank or a push start.
Good old days were not all that good, but were much simpler.
The best idea to come along was 12V systems with solid state regulators.
But todays fool injection and computer controlled everything to meet emission regulations causes more problems than intended because of supplier requirements of least possible cost.
Agreed,
Amazon does not always know what the hell they are selling, as they are too big, they do accept free returns but that don't help if their "will fit listing is wrong.
Sorry for the leading this train off the track.
I hope the op replies what he has found as it is good for all to know.
When a person quits learning, they have died.
