The G has a positive ground when on 6 volts.  If you convert to 12, change
to negative ground.  I have use a small alternator off of a Nissan or
similar, made brackets looks and fits nice.  You must change the ignition
coil and I prefer to use one with an internal resistor.  You will have no
trouble with the starter, if the engine is in good shape and pops right off.
My starter has been on 12 volts for over 10 years.

I think the G should be built again,

Have a great day,
Ron

there's no voltage regulator as far as i can see on the oem g.  from
what i understand the starter will eventually burn up w/ 12v, but it
takes a long time.
