Jensen Generator bulb

Hi guys,
Can someone tell me what voltage bulb to use in a Jensen
Generator? The one on mine just burned out and I’ve got several
types, 1.5, 3, and 6 volt I believe.
Thanks!

The 3 volt bulb would be the one. Sometimes I use a higher
voltage bulb like the 6 volt. It won’t burn as bright but you
really can’t burn it out by running the generator at high
speeds.

Thank you Mike. I’ll try the 3 volt bulb and if it keeps burning
out, I’ll go up to a 6 volt. Much appreciated!

Obviously, the faster you spin a generator the higher the
voltage. Most engines have a sweet spot of throttle position
and belt shiv setting.
