They run better warmed up.
If you are running 6V on battery, a charging generator is a must.
Start on battery then switch to mag if mag works. If mag does not work I removed the mag wire from the transmission mag post and hooked it to a 12v dry battery. Then you can start and run with switch in mag position. Starts easier and runs better. I did this for years until I fixed the mag.

I too had/have an A for years before my 40 T years. Enjoy!
