Thanks,
We started it quickly because I slipped in a 12 volt battery just to see what it would do. I didn't have a 6 volt just sitting around. But the generator was smoking so we definately need to do the conversion. I don't need AC but I definately need a radio so the 12 volts will help.
Here is the video we shot today:
