Thanks, Dave and all - Maybe I've been doing this wrong........I used a pair of 60,000 mF in PARALLEL w/a 12V/15A supply and it still kicked it OFF (little dyno pulls 3A loaded; spikes to 25A momentarily [0.5 sec] when winding up.). Maybe the caps are shot. Maybe I really need a 2F cap from a Low Rider...Cheapest stripped version I've found is around $60; bells and whistles is easily twice that. I can cobble together around 250,000 mF using all my "big cans", but will this even be worth the work?
