Bill,

I think that you are right about the cable. I think it's just a 12 volt and it should be a 6 volt. The generator guy guessed this as well and said that using a 12v cable on a 6v system is like trying to run water with a kink in the hose. I'll know a little more as I dig into this and rule certain things out, but if it's as simple as changing the points and a battery cable, that would be pretty nice
