Default Re: 12 volt?

I changed to twelve volts because I wanted to, not because I felt that I had to . I prefer a more powerful electrical system for brighter lights and faster cranking . The biggest thing is installing a twelve volt battery . My conversion retains the unmodified original generator . The generator charges in amps and doesn't know the difference . I use the Fun Projects twelve volt positive ground voltage regulator . This voltage regulator looks like and takes the place of the cut out . As long as the system remains positive ground , no wires have to be changed . I use a three OHM coil . The original type coil can be used if a resistor is used at the coil connection . I prefer to use the Pertronix twelve volt flame thrower coil for quicker starts and power that can actually be felt . The only electrical accessory that I use is an extra tail light for safety .
