QUESTION: What changes need to be made to the original generator to switch to 12 volt?
I have used a 6 volt genny and made it charge a 12 volt battery simply by using a 12 volt voltage regulator and it worked but didnt charge at any real high rate BUTTTTTTTTTTTT THATS NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT THE ENGINEERING "CORRECT" ANSWER as the fields could possibly overheat????
QUESTION Can I put a 12 Volt regulator and battery on and it would work? SEE THE ABOVE
The best method is to use a 12 volt generator
ORRRRRRR Have a genny shop convert your 6 volt genny to a 12 volt
ORRRRRRRRR use an alternator (most require Neg ground remember which requires the coil leads and ammeter leads be swapped)
As far as the ignition coil you can EITHER keep the existign 6 volt plus add an external series voltage dropping (12 to 6) Ballast resistor or else get a new 12 volt coil no ballast required.
The 6 volt starter can still work at 12 volts but it can be a bit tough on starter drives.
