Default Re: Starting with 12v running with 6v

J, there is a Big difference with Ford and vw 6 volt systems. In good order the Ford system works great, very reliable. The vw 6 volt system in good order is a contradiction in terms. Every and I meen every vw rear engined contraption I've had to work on, has had a bunch of electrical problems. Vw must of known this as they kept changing the wiring at some point.
I'd still like to know what's the problem that the OP has with his 6 volts? Hate to think that some one would change a bunch of stuff and things, spend a fist full of bux, when, for instance, a set of brushes in the starter would have it fixed. Might also save him from replacing the bendix spring that will snap normally at the most annoying moment.
You don't know till you ask,
so pray tell, what's the problem?
Martin.
