Re: Jump Starting?
Not that I'm going out to buy some, but there seems to be a big price for some of the heavier gauge jumper cables!
I just popped over to NAPA's site (just chosen because I knew they'd have more than one to pick from).
One thing that seems important is that it makes a difference if the dead 6v battery has enough charge left to fire the coil. If it does it seems you should connect to the starter, if it doesn't it seems you should connect to the battery.
Unresolved questions: Does jump starting have to be a two person job to minimize the time the 6v system is exposed to 12v?
Are there any portable hot-shot solutions for 6v?
Where are good attachments for the dead car's positive cable? Nominees are: Battery positive, unpainted chassis, starter mounting bolt, starter case.
Will the starter spin faster or with more torque when hooked to the 12v system?
