You could always buy a new 6V coil -- they're not that expensive.

Then again, I wouldn't change it back if the 12v system is working right unless there's something special about that 2N that would raise some collector interest.

Uh..... ....do you really want to go backward and try to find all the 6 volt generator stuff and brackets. Do you really understand what it takes to re-wire back to OEM 6 volt configuration?

UNFORTUNATELY, they don't lable those frontmount ignition coils whether 6 or 12 volts so its kinda a technical thing to make an educated guess. An ohmmeter will give you an indication by measuring the primary winding resistance.

An OEM 6 volt frontmount coil primary will measure about 1 ohm. The newer 12 volt frontmount primary will measure about 5 ohms. Exact value is NOT critical because the difference is about factor of 5 which is a major difference in electricity talk.

BTW, the secondary sparkies winding will generally be about 5000 to 10000 ohms, again a major difference compared to the primary winding resistance.

Personally, I'd leave your 2N converted to 12 volts unless you have a really compelling reason to retro-vert back to 6 volts.

I'm a 12 volt advocate for the right reasons, that said, I haven't found the right reason for my eazy starting 52 8N, and I know how to do it right..... .....Dell

Dell, I think everyone knows by now you can convert a 6 volt to twelve volt, and do it right.
You have only mentioned it about 50 times. Who cares?
