It has been converted to 12 volts by previous owner years ago. Since then ,I have dismantled it to the frame ,and am now ready to put it back together. I bought a 10si one wire alternator with internal reg. Can anyone provide me with a simple 1 line diagram showing the complete starting and charging system, to include alt. batt, coil ,ign. switch,ballast resister, grounding ,etc. PLease make it as simple as possible .

Changing to 12v and having an alternator right-away makes using all of an original wiring diagram very problematic. Here is a diagram for wiring a one-wire alternator: http://mightymo.org/public_html/images/Projects/DelcoOneWire/AmpMeter.jpgfrom this website: http://mightymo.org/Proj_OneWire.html#Delco | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 91 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 91 | I think it is the original key ignition, foot starter, points and a one wire alternator with out need for a DA plug. I hope this helps. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
12v with ballast resistor in-line between the ignition switch and the coil?
