Gene, I have used 6 volt gennys to charge at 12 volts simply by replacing the Voltage Regulator to a 12 volt, Im NOT saying thats the best or engineering correct way to do it or that it sets the world on fire as far as a high charge rate, Im ONLY saying it worked. A genny dont necessarily know what voltage to produce, it increases by turning it faster and/or pumping more current (within limits) through its field windings. If you have a 3 brush genny adjust its third brush to max charge position.

If a 6 volt sytem dont crank satisfactory I first recommend the biggest heaviest highest rated battery that physically fits in the box and the use of 00 Gauge battery n starter n ground cables. Be sure n remove n clean n wire brush n reattach each n every battery n starter n ground n cable n switch/solenoid connection but if she still cranks slow you may have a starter/solenoid problem or finally the starter itself is bad. If the ground is to any thin wimpy or rusty sheet metal component, reattach it to a clean soild frame type bolt.

Dont forget any ignition modifications (ballast resistor or 12 volt coil) if you change to 12 volts and gauges n lights etc and ground polarity.
