Anthony, also ensure that you have a heavy earth
cable connected directly to the crankcase. The engine does not turn over
particularly fast even when everything is in pristine condition, due to the
reduction drive.

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.

Are your main cables (to & from the battery)
of sufficient thickness to carry the current needed? Remember that
this is a 6 volt system & so needs much heavier cables than
does a 12 volt system.

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
