Howdy,
We just finished converting a 9N from 6V to 12V, following the wiring diagram that's attached (or at least that I tried to attach). Unlike some conversions we've seen online, we just ran one wire off the alternator. We also aren't using an extra resistor, since we put on a 12V coil.
The battery we're using is brand new, and the motor turns over, but it won't catch. Should we take the fact that it turns over to mean that the conversion is good, but that something else is wrong? Or might the turning but not catching be the result of miswiring? Another odd thing is that we can also turn it over even when the key's not in the ignition. Hmm.
We'd appreciate any advice you might be able to offer...
