Whatever you do, do not connect a 12 volt battery with cables to your 6 volt battery to help it start better. If you want, you can remove the batteryposts on the 6 volt battery, and only use the 12 volt battery. Never ever mix them. That will in fact be the last time you mix a 6 and 12 volt battery. You will most likely survive it, but you will hardly forget it. Opening the generators might tell you what voltage it is if you have other generators you already know the voltage on by comparing turns and wire thickness. On the starters that is more difficult. On a starter there is no such things as positive and negative, wire them as you please, they will go in the same direction anyway. Do you see any amperage on the generators ? that may tell the voltage too in turn. I mean, originally a TE 20 had 17 amps I think on 6 volts. When they moved to 12 volts, it gave 11 amps only, and now when they have started using the Ford style generator, it often gives 22 amps and that is 12 volts. Did you become any wiser ? Bill
