Gentlemen,

Your words of wisdom would - yet again - be much appreciated.

My '28 HSS has been a poor starter and slow turning over for some time.  I assumed it was the starter motor as its two six-volt batteries (in a 6-volt system) are fairly new.  However, if I use jump leads to a 12-volt battery, the engine spins likea turbine and the car starts immediately.  Does this suggest that the starter motor is all right,  and that the problem may lie with the batteries not producing sufficient amperage unassisted to turn the engine over?  I'd be grateful as always for your comments.

Regards,
Anthony O'Brien
