Russ..... If your 9N frontmount is converted correctly, you should have about 3.5 volts at the coil/ballast connection. Then you should have an other resistor in series (just like flashlight batterys) that drops your 12 volts down to 6 volts to run your ballast resistor. The key here is to understand what the ignition circuit should be. If you have an OEM 6 volt coil, it actually designed to run on about 3.5 volts and the ballast resistor is the scheme to reduce your original 6 volts system down to coil operating voltage (3.5 volts) Then the converter should have installed in series another resistor somewhere between the ignition switch and the ballast resistor to drop the new 12 volts down to 6 volts. If you have 6 volts (or more) at the coil, you will be continually burning out and replacing your ignition points. If you have less than 2 volts at the coil, you're going to have trouble starting an N-Tractor even in the summertime. The real advantage of a 12 volt conversion, is that the starter really spins. Sometimes a voltmeter makes a better tool than an ohmmeter. Hope this gives you some ideas where to look..... Dell
