Default Re: 8BA 12 V Starter?

If the engine is well maintained and you run 12 volts to a 6 volt starter the thing will usually start so quilled that the starter doesn’t get much use. The extra speed the engine turns over seems to get it started with less time cranking it over.
On my F1 after it has set for a few days i just turn on the ignition after I pull the choke an inch so it doesn’t die right away after it stars and pump the accelerator twice to the floor and hit the starter button just for a split second and it fires right up immediately.
Of coarse I keep a fresh set of points installed. An electronic ignition conversion will give the same results.
