Re:
Anthony, in addition to what the others have said
it may be a good idea to check out your starter switch arangement which is under
the starter. This tends to get dirty and oil covered over time and cause
starting problems.

Anthony, These 6 volt systems are adequate if they are kept up to snuff. As David said, make sure your cables are of the correct size. I bought my #1 cable from a local welding store. Or call Dave Kostansek in the club roster. He can make one up for you. Make sure all connections are clean and tight. Buy a battery with the highest cca (cold cranking amps) you can get. Mine is 800, and works well. I think it cost about $80.00 from NAPA. Another thing to try is, keeping the battery on a continuous charge with a trickle charger. If a car sits for several days, or weeks, a battery can lose some of its charge faster than you may think. Leaving you with a weak battery to try and start you car. Gene.
