Dennis, converting the battery n charging system from 6 to 12 volts shouldnt affect the ammeter n she ought to still work, its a current through it sensing device NOT a voltage device.

Soooooooooo other things that can affect it are if you changed ground polarity???????? If you did its wires all need reversed or it will read bass ackwards. If its wired correct if you switch on lights or ignition not running it should swing over to - discharge but then swing to + charge when running ifffffffffff shes charging Sooooooooooo is she charging??? you know????

The ammeters SUPPLY terminal usually has but ONE wire and thats to the hot ungrounded battery post often via connection at a starter switch/solenoid where the big battery cable attaches. Its other LOAD terminal is what feeds loads like lights n ignition PLUS it wires to the BAT terminal on a Voltage Regulator so it can accept the gennys charging current. BOTH ammter terminals PLUS the BAT terminal on the VR should ALWAYS indicate hot battery voltage if alls wired correct and working.
