I am attempting to wire my 1951 Cub to see if I get spark and then later fire. I am going to by pass the ignition....as the dash has already been removed.
Yesterday I removed a 6 volt battery from my 1949 positive ground 8n ....to be used as the battery for the Cub test. The battery cranked and started the 8n fine. Last night I attempted a simple test of cranking the starter of the Cub by connecting the 6 volt to the starter with jumper cables. No go.
TO be sure nothing has locked up since the last test, I tried a 12 Volt battery and she cranked fine (all 6 volt wires are disconnected now so all I did was put 12 volts on starter).
I put the 6 volt battery on a charger all night. This am it tried to roll the starter, but no go. Why would this battery start my 8n fine, but not crank my Cub? What am I doing wrong.
Also, this battery has the caps to (I guess) fill with water??? The battery is a few years old. Any suggestions?
