6v-12volts?

Barry, having starting problems with the carrier? Before embarking on a 12V conversion, I'd check the grounding of the starter circuit. I have some experience with 6V CMPs and lots of experience with 6V VW Beetles - almost always starting difficulties were due to bad grounding. For example, most battery leads available at automotive stores are not up to the high currents of 6V systems. A 6V electric system is much more prone to suffering from bad connections than a 12V system. Checking connections and wires for voltage drops might yield better results than a 12V conversion.

Just my 2 €-cents worth!
