Problem with parts ????
 

Interesting story. I bought sometime ago a 1937 V8 60 on a little run stand in Michigan. Took it to my friend Toms shop to finish the run stand , added a radiator , some hoses , a six volt battery ( for distributor testing) dash with gauges and a neat old school gas tank off a old small engine of some kind.
Hooked everything up and it cranked really slow , would not spin up enough to start ... I had Vans make me up some welding cables and had the starter rebuilt to only find out it still cranks very slow. :confused:
Toms further testing found the starter solinoid didnt seem right and replaced with old 6 volt starter solinoid from a junk box. WOW started right up and cranks very well! Looking up some old specs and it seems these little six volt units could use 300-400 amps when cranking!! A new (off shore being nice) solinoid for 12 volts just wasnt the answer!!!:)
