Mike, The Lynx electrical system runs 12V and 6V and 4.5V. It is a real pain as all wires are in woven shields and are black in colour and not labeled. To make it more confusing the power comes off the battery through a main switch then after it has done a circuit through the 12V generator it comes back through the same switch with different contacts in the other direction. There is nothing on the wiring diagram to show which way the current runs.

The coil runs 4.5V the instruments run 6V and the lights etc 12V.

I am still having trouble sorting mine out.

Cheers Rick.
