Re: 39 - 6 volt electrical question

JS sorry yes your right. I haven't had an opportunity to try it and I sure hope it's that easy.

Again sorry. You guys are a wealth of information and I greatly appreciate all the suggestions.

I cut this from another thread:
When this happens, try shorting out the resistor - put a wire across it. I had a '57 Chevy that did the same thing. It could be '30 below zero and it would start like...

Coop - I can only say, I agree 110%. I have the original starter, maybe I should find a...

Re: 39 - 6 volt electrical question

The starter is new.
