Arrow 6v to 12v

[A.clarke]

Hi all
Does anyone know the battery number you need if I change from 6 volt to 12 volt on my ariel arrow, and advice on other parts that may need replacing.
Thanks

Hi
I converted my arrow to 12v Pazon ignition, and used the following battery, rotor, stator and regulator. The stator is very slightly bigger than the original Lucas, so a bit of turning/ easing to get it to fit. The higher power of this stator allows a halogen headlight without draining the battery.

Thanks Dave
My arrow above half throttle seems to miss and spit back so I think it's loosing it's spark or it is irratic at high rev's. My Pazon is for 6 or 12 volt but I assume I will have to use 2 - 6 volt coils instead of the 3 volt supplied.

I used the Pazon True-Fire Ariel Arrow/Leader (12 Volt) which allowed me to use the old 6v coils, so I don't know about your system - sorry

Does that system use an idle spark (ie firing both coils at the same time)?

Hi Ian
Yes it has the waste spark.

Thanks. I'm building mine with points but may be looking at electronic later.

I am just taking my Pazon electronic ignition off to rule that out as i have already had a fault with it.
