No.

You need to jump off of another 6 volt vehicle.

Or push it. I find pushing it much easier. Easy to find a couple of volunteers to push on the back bumper and get you moving. Pop the clutch in 2nd gear and you're off. If the only problem you have is a battery that is too weak to crank (or a faulty starter -- which jumping won't help), it will start right up.
