1) Would an automotive battery charger for 6 volt 2 amps be too much for this little battery? Maybe OK if a guy only charged it for a short while?
A 6 Volt 2 amp battery charger (subject to design) likely wouldn't be too much PROVIDED as you say use it short periods.
2) I do have a 12 V trickle charger of 1 amp. Is there any way I can step the voltage down to 6V without changing the amperage output of the charger too much?
While in theory you might be able to do that its NOT my recommendation
3) What sort of voltage should this little battery show when sitting at rest for say a day after charging?
A full charged lead acid 6 volt battery at rest and stabilized should be around 6.3 volts subject to temperature
PS in years of farming and a used tractor dealer I (in a pinch) used small low amp 12 volt chargers to charge bigger 6 volt tractor batteries USED SHORT TIMES KEEPING AN EYE ON WATER AND VOLTAGES and never had a problem. HOWEVER with such a small battery much more care and caution and short time periods would be necessary, yet for the record, Im NOT recommending it.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
