I'd still like to know what's the problem that the OP has with his 6 volts? Hate to think that some one would change a bunch of stuff and things, spend a fist full of bux, when, for instance, a set of brushes in the starter would have it fixed. Might also save him from replacing the bendix spring that will snap normally at the most annoying moment.
You don't know till you ask,
so pray tell, what's the problem?

Yep, that's why I posted the comment that I was NOT promoting the dual battery approach. I know a lot of folks like the original 6v systems and they work fine if they are maintain properly and use the correct 6v parts. I prefer a 12v system, but for completely different reasons, it has to do with how I wire them up (non-stock but stock appearance).
