6Volt to 12Volt

That sounds good. That's how I want to do it too.
What kind of generator did you install? and what ignition?
did you leave the original starter?

 

Das hört sich gut an. So möchte ich das auch machen.
Was für einen Generator hast du eingebaut ? und welche Zündung?
hast du den Originalen Anlasser gelassen ?

I used a small Subaru alternator and just made a bracket up of the front  of the old generator. 
I used the fast xr700 electronic ignition it’s easy to fit. 
I fitted an old bendex spring in-line with the starter power to drop it a few volts. I can take some pictures for you tomorrow if you need any. 
the engines start and run really nice with the electronic ignition.

Thanks for the pictures.

Very well done with the alternator.

On the starter, I don't understand the spring.

Should it work as a pre-resistor to reduce the tension?

Danke für die Bilder.

Sehr gut gemacht mit der Lichtmaschine.

Beim Anlasser verstehe ich das mit der Feder nicht.

Soll die als Vorwiederstand arbeiten  um die Spannung zu reduzieren ?

The old bendex spring helps drop the voltage from 12 down to about 8volts at cranking. Just takes a bit of a load of the 6 volt starter.
