Dan, check these 2 sites out. Read and study the first one. Then, go to the next one, and you can look up parts, and get all your settings.

Nah, I just converted my 51 merc to 12 volts last year works great, all I changed was the generator and the coil. The points are fine.

Also, you should be able to start a 6 volt system simply with a 12 volt battery, just don't do it all the time.

unplug a sparkplug wire and hold it close to the engine, see if the spark jumps when you crank it. Is it timed correctly?
