Default Re: 50 Merc won't start

Not sure if you are still running six volts but I had to use a 12 volt battery for the initial startup after a 35 year "rest" on my 52. The slow cranking old six volt is ok when everything else is working but it needed a lot more cranking speed to get mine going. I only ran the 12 volts through the solenoid and starter leaving the six volt connected to the electrical and ignition system.
