    I’ve been following this thread and would also like to know if my twin (11B4) would run on a 6v buzz box. And 0.22 mfd condenser?

    I think a buzz box would be problematic if the original points were used,
    as those systems are designed for the contactor or points to only
    close when firing. I suppose a contactor could be fabricated though,
    instead of using the original points.

    If the B&S small engine coil would not withstand the 6v battery,
    I suppose one could try an automotive type coil, mounted on the power head,
    using the original points under the flywheel, but I’d have to
    “Y” out of the coil secondary to have a spark plug wire to go to
    each cylinder. Would that work?

    Prepare to be boarded!
