Overspinning a Generator?

Posted by Will (in IL) [98.215.26.138] on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 21:37:54 :

A Question for those Generator Experts. I've used the M's 230 larger crank and water pump pulleys, but kept the generator's stock pulley.

Should I be over concerned of over spinning it? I'm sure it's rated for higher RPM engines, and the M's engine in the PW still has the governor.

The Amp gauge sure shows a lot of "charging amps while the engine is running, and the battery is a good battery.

Thanks,
Will
