    Here is how I originally drew the diagram–assuming use of a 12V choke solenoid. Insert the resistor in series with the green wire if you want to keep the 6V choke.

    Frank, thanks for the clarification. The way the conversion diagram was, it didn’t make much sense.
    I do plan in keeping the 6v choke solenoid, at least for now, as it works fine.
    I presume, with the edited diagram, this is the way to way the resistor?
    The resistor I bought, is as described below.
    Sound okay to you?

    I’m still wondering, is it the wrong 6v or wrong 12v solenoid that will fry the mercury switch,
    and what’s the internal differences, and how do you tell the difference using a VOM?
    Thanks again!
