Lister Based Generators / Anybody else have yucky "sinusoidal" wave forms from their Chinese ST head?

Yeah, intro says it all pretty much.
I put the oscilloscope on the output of the ST head, just out of curiosity, and it looked like crap, not smooth at all. Analysis of the timing indicated that this had nothing to do with the 6 impulse per second powerstroke which causes flicker (whole separate deal). It was jagged, peaky and "messy" for lack of a better term.
I had the (apparently naive and incorrect) impression that rotating generating machinery normally produces pretty smooth wave forms.
Please note that I have not had any problems from this "messy" wave form. I am just intellectually curious.
Finest regards,
troy
