Keeping 6 volt+magneto system-need schematic

Posted by Jim Hines on October 29, 2000 at 12:09:37 from (206.10.68.166):

I just got a '48 M. It has an electric starter, magneto, and generator. Started fine before the sale and the day I got it. Had to drive home with lights on. Barely started next day, not at all day after that. Battery metered 6.01 volts and took a 6-amp/hour charge for several hours to gain to 6.58 volts. Now it starts. I think I have a couple of problems:
1. Battery is NAPA 7024. They say it's six volts. Terminal are located diagonally from one another.
2. The ampmeter read backwards (?) before I bought it. Now it reads +20 when lights are on
3. System is NEGATIVE ground. This does not agree w/ Bob M's schematics or what others are telling me.Besides that, the starter works. Shouldn't it fail or go backwards if wired wrong?
4. I need starting ability in MN winters for snowplowing.

Otherwise, I don't mind the magneto ignition or 6 volt sysytem. I just need a proper schematic (is magneto the same as coil just minus that part of the circuit?) and how to test the generator/regulator with a meter.

I have the Bob M.(thanks Bob) schematic for a stock H.

Thanks, Jim

Thanks for the help
