1-More than likely you need/should replace your 6 volt regulator then polarize the regulator. But before I would waste the money and burn up a new regulator, I would take the generator to a real good rebuilder and have him run it on the machine and make sure you don't have a short in your armature. 2-If you want to change over to a 12 volt system it will take just a few minor changes. First and foremost what is the polarity of the 12v generator? Do NOT connect battery until completed the following. If positive ground get a 12v battery and ground appropriately. Add a resistor inline between feed wire to coil so as not to burn points up. Don't forget you probably have 6 volt lights. Change lights. Install wires on generator appropriately and connect negative battery cable. Done. Second if you should have a negative ground generator you need to make the following changes. First, Again connect battery LAST. 12 volt battery to be grounded negatively. Swap the wires on your ammeter (or the gauge will read discharge when actually charging). Install resistor inline between feed wire and coil (again for the points). Swap wires on the coil; positive feed, negative to points/distributor. Install wires on generator appropriately and connect positive battery cable. Don't forget you probably have 6 volt lights. Change lights. Starter is not required to be changed or modified. Any questions post back. Remember check and double check all wires. Don't hold me to it but either a group 22 or group 26 should fit in the battery box and then only you will know it is a 12 volt system. Sorry for the long post! Tony
