So i got a new light from napa. will it light up when turning the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) over with the pull start? just wondering if i hooked it up right. in the middle of carb rebuild not running atm, so i wanted to test it.
i'm not very familiar with 6 volt systems.

my light has 1 black wire. the diagram showed 2, does it self-ground through the mount? i'm no electrician.
maybe someone can tell me how the light wiring/switch works thanks.

6V system works the same as 12V just a lower voltage, its producing AC voltage BTW their is no rectifier in the stock wiring system.

The aftermarket light probably is internally grounded wait until you get your Engine running then hook one wire at a time to the light see if it lights and or use a volt meter on AC check the voltage.

You would have to look at the wiring diagram to see if if the system had a voltage regulator.
