Anthony,

Just a suggestion: if you have not worked on 6v, the ground side of the system is much more critical with 6v than 12v. In particular, look carefully at the point where the positive battery terminal is connected to the frame. It was originally tied into a bolt on the U Joint cover, but it's easy to clean off a spot on the frame and tie it in there.

Look at the starter switch terminals and the connection to the starter.

Time spent making these connections clean shiny and tight will pay off.

Good Luck.
