A 6 volt system should work just fine. Make sure you have a good clean ground. Make sure you have a good ground strap at the battery. Those braided ground straps oxidize over the years and lead to a bad ground. Recently was troubleshooting a friends Model A and it would not turn over, even with a new battery. New ground strap and it spun like a top.
