Installation is simple. Mount a 6 volt solenoid somewhere near the transmission. Install the largest 12 volt battery you can fit into the armoured battery box. Run a cable from the positive of that battery to ground. Run another heavy guage cable from the neg terminal to one of the large studs on the solenoid. From the other large solenoid stud, run a large cable to the stud on the starter, while removing the origional cable from the 6 volt system from the starter. Off that origional large cable, join it to a smaller guage wire (12 guage should do) and run that wire to the small terminal on the solenoid. Now when you engage the starter button on the dash, it energises on the 6 volt solenoid which puts through 12 volts to the starter.
The 6 volt system remains in place for everything but the starter motor. The puky 15 amp charging system can now keep up with the load, and the coil doesn't have to fight with the starter motor for energy during start-up.
