As others have pointed out.. best to stick with 6v. Clean those connections.. make sure you have goot thumb sized battery cables, and check your battery... voltage, load test, and specific gravity.. if the battery is 5+ years old.. may be time for a new one. Tractor and heavy equipment batteries generally take vibration a bit better than automotive batteries. Places like TSC sell a decent 6v battery ( traveler I think ). A tuned up ignition also helps... real copper core spark plug wires, not the resistor wires... new corect type and gapped plugs... new/clean rotor and cap.. pints if needed.. and if you replace points.. do the condensor too... Check coil for good connections too... pigtail may need to be stretched on te frontmount jobs..check connections at resistor ( if needed ) and the ignition switch... many times old ignition switches are the cause of problems.. easy to check with a jumper wire to shunt across ignition switch if you suspect it is bad or intermitant. Remember to check connections at voltage reg if present.. especially ground reference.. and connections at genny or alternator. hope this helps. Soundguy
