Hey electrical man, do you think you could spare me a couple of minutes to look at the wiring on this. I would love to convert this from 6v -> 12v, however the stator is running three seperate circuits.
1) Runs the points to the coils (ac)
2) Runs the headlight, includes a resistor to kill extra power (ac)
3) Runs through a rectifier into the battery and powers the tail and turns (dc).
Ive been trying to find someone that has completed the conversion but only come up empty. The best advice I got was to run 2 and 3 in a series, then possibly into a 6v -> 12v converter like you sell. Im not sure it would work because the #2 stator wrap seems to ground out vs going to something so that might now allow it to work. I dont know this stuff well enough. Do you have any idea of how you would do that or if that idea would even work?
Here is what someone else said about it. "From the diagram, it looks like you could unplug the white/yellow (headlight) and pink (rectifier AC in #2) stator wires and connect them together, then connect the other side of the white/yellow to the black-wire bus (DC positive) and ground the pink rectifier wire to the chassis (it's possible this wire would have to be run to the grounded end of the headlight coil, which would then be lifted from chassis ground). If the resulting voltage was very low, the yellow (rectifier AC in #1) and pink wires from the stator could be reversed."
Maybe with your setup, I would hook the W/Y to the P, hook the other end of the W/Y to black like they said for power the light. Then swap out the rectifier with your setup and run
Y (converter) to Y (stator)
R (converter) to to R/W (harness)
B (converter) to ??
B (converter) to ??
P (harness) to ??
