12v

I did my conversion this weekend. Tractor ran great.I also rebuilt the distributor. I think most of my problems stemmed from worn dist shaft lobes (2N). They were not opening untill they got to the closing side of the lobe. New question? When I1st started it the ameter pegged to the left (-) instantaneously Then sowed about 3 amps -. after mowing a while It is now showing maybee 1 amp.Is that right? The instructions said to wire the amperes meter in reverse I also used the Extra resistor that came with the kit.I believe the wiring is correct. Hot at the single alternator post all the time, hot at the coil with key on.

Can you send me your instructions?

Sounds like ammeter is currently wired backwards, thus showing (-) when charging, as magnitude of charge current starts high & decreases as battery reaches full charge.

JMOR, could not send the instructions,basically the same except two wires on one post of ameter. I wired it by yuor directions seems to be working fine. still showing "0" while running, pegs to the negative while cranking. I guess it shows "0" or 1 amp because the battery is fully charged?
