The only things that I want to add is another light or two and possibly a cooling fan if needed after the install of the ductwork and muffler heat shield. Am I correct in thinking 10 amps is only 120 watts?The pdf link is this one. https://www.briggsandstratton.com/c...tratton/na/en_us/Files/FAQs/alternator_id.pdf
There is several listed for the same model of engine so it looks like you need to match the parts. I will say that whether 3a or 10a none of them are really sufficient to run much accessories.
Yes, W=VA. I do not know how much the engine needs of that alternator amperage to fire the spark plug so that would reduce the total amount. The hour meter is probably a very low amount of draw.The only things that I want to add is another light or two and possibly a cooling fan if needed after the install of the ductwork and muffler heat shield.

It should not need any voltage to fire as it is magneto system, unless they have changed them recently. 120 w is not much to work with but it can be done, I think.Yes, W=VA.

The magneto is also where they pull the battery voltage from. So I do not know if the alternator amp rating B&S uses is for everything or not.It should not need any voltage to fire as it is magneto system, unless they have changed them recently. 120 w is not much to work with but it can be done, I think.
good info on the Briggs charging system.
