Nebraska Cowman, First problem I see is the resistor you use for the coil may not be able to handle the current the battery wants. Take a look at the power rating on the side of the resistor. It'll probably be somewhere from 25 to 40 Watts. If your 12V charger does 6 amps, that's 72 watts! - and gets worse if it's putting out 8, 10 or 12 amps. That resistor is going to get real hot, and eventually fail. If you have one of the chargers with a low setting, ~2amp switch, you could do it without killing the resistor. I've been charging my 6V with a variable power supply - 6.5V @ 2 amps for about a day - seems to work well, as it's about a 50aH battery.

Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
