Ive been using a 12 volt power source, and very, VERY occasionally I can get a strobe from the light itself. Ive tried the 6 volt battery just because with no effect. What can I do to get the inductive part to pick up the power surge for spark more effieciently? Im using steel cored cables with 7mm insulation. Ive tried patching in a wire from a cable thinking maybe the insulation was to thick. What am I missing? Again, 12 volt picks up and strobes perfect. And yes mine is supposed to work on 6 volt using a 12 volt power source. Thanks, Jeff My 1953 Chevrolet 1947.1 Gallery 1972 C-10 1/2 Ton & 1972 C-30 1 Ton
