First time poster, and I m gonna lead with the disclaimer that I m an idiot.
So I bought a 12 volt kit and rewired my 39 9n as a 12 volt. I followed the video by Dan and Rachel Gingell from farm tractor repair.com.
I did not change the ammeter or the resistor (which I think may be my problem), and when I hooked the negative battery cable up, I got some sparks and the wire from the push button start to the ammeter burned up. The tractor has a key switch, and that was in the off position. Also, tracing from the battery the wire that burned is before the resistor. This has me thoroughly confused. Any help you can offer would be great. Thanks!
