Default Conversion

Jordan I dont know what type of generator you have .Some generators can be changed from 6v to 12v by changing the field coils in the generator, (along with the regulator as well) 6volt wiring can handle 12 volts (but not the other way around) What i mean here is that some manufacturers make both 6v and 12v. Your armature is special because of the drive coupling, so you wouldnt want to change that. Fortunately the armature works in both 6v and 12v. So what you hve to do is find a 12volt generator of the same make to take the 12v field coils from. Then it all looks original. Maybe you cant do this, but it works for English carriers fitted with a Lucas generator. Hope this might help.
