I have 6v neg ground, distributor Super A. It cranks really slow. Maybe get one revolution at a time. I was trying to get it started yesterday and I saw a little smoke coming from the starter. The positive cable to the starter was warm. Now it wont do anything. Doesn't even try to crank. I have 6+ volts at the battery and at the starter.
Did I fry the starter? (Is that even possible)
Can I buy a rebuild kit or does it need a complete rebuilt by a shop.
I have not disconnected the battery and put my 12v jump pack on the starter itself to see if it spins.
It is not the original starter as I have to push the pull rod to start it.
Thinking this might be the time to convert to 12v. Not going to be a parade tractor or at least a pretty one.
I have a mini denso alternator already that I might be able to use if I was to convert.
Would this starter work on a 12v system?
I would have to add a resister before the distributor/coil right?
Would I have to change just the light bulbs and not the light it self?
Sorry lots of questions but was ready to do some mowing with it yesterday and this happened.
Thanks
