Steve,
Your system doesn't charge when idling, but this isn't anything to worry
about. Once the rpm rises above ~1200rpm, it starts charging normally
again. I've been running under sized pulleys for several years now. If you
don't mind your lights dimming, or your blinkers slowing occasionally at a
stop light, then it won't bother you one bit.
I don't know how old you are, but if you've ever driven an older vehicle
with a generator, it's kinda like that.

"Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until voters discover they can vote themselves
largess (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment
on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most
benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy
always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a
dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this
sequence: from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency;
from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from
dependence back again to bondage.
(By Alexander Tyler Frasier, over 200 years ago.)
