If you are still on 6 volts, I would really think about not doing the conversion. The place I bought mine from warned me before I bought it that they dont work as well on 6 volts. The reason is that the electronic ignition needs a min of 4.5 volts to work. Often when you are cranking over the tractor the voltage drops below that. On my tractor you have to crank the tractor till it starts turning fast, then let off the starter. As soon as you let off it will fire. This is how you have to start it the first time that is hasnt been started for a day or two. If you shut if off and start if a little while later it will fire as soon as you touch the starter. My guess to why it acts this way is that the battery is freshly charged from the generator so there is more voltage available.
