Bryce - Here's answers to a few of your questions:

One person says that you could put a voltage regulator on the six volt generator. YES - that can work. However the generator must be spun faster for it to develop 12 volts. Means if you idle or run slow a lot, the battery will not be charged.

One says that a six volt starter will work just fine on a 12 volt system. YES! Conversions I did 20+ years ago are still starting fine on the original 6 volt starters.

I read that you have to put a warning light on the alternator? I have an H already without one and it works just fine? YES and NO! A "3-wire" alternator needs either a lamp, resistor or diode in the #1 control line for it to work. A "1-wire" alternator however needs no auxiliary components.

How would you change the mag on the engine? DON'T NEED TO!. A magneto is totally independent of the charging system - it doesn't care whether the system is 6 volt, 12 volt or doesn't exist.

Hope this helps! ...Bob M
