Hi,
I have a 300 and unless my new 6 volt battery doesn"t start it on about the 6th turn over, it"s over and bat needs charging. This is re-occuring and is not the battery.
Could it be the starter? Anyone have an old crank?

My did the EXACT same thing. Moved to the #2 cable and all is well now.

Thanks to everyone. The #2 cable seems to help the most, plus I had a poor battery (Only 1 yr old)

First of all, make sure the battery and starter cables are heavy enough to carry the load. Conductor should be about the size of your little finger. Next step is to crank the engine with the ignition off till it starts slowing down and then carefully feel all the connections for heating, particularly the starter button. This will indicate where resistance is high. Chances are you will find a connection or cable not capable of carrying the load... Gene

Should be at least a No. 2 size cable. Some people use the larger No. 1 cable.

Got to disagree. Any good 6 volt battery will hang in there longer that that. As a class, they hang on longer that 12 volt one. Unless you starter is shorted, and then some thing would be realy smoking. My 300 starts on 3rd flip, 2 quarter turns to choke and fires on third.

Second thought. Starter is draging. gets warm and drags. While you are recharging battery, starter is cooling off. Try waiting for it to cool off without recharging battery and see what happens.

Hi Again,
I let it cool off and it seems to help a little. Should I replace the starter?

Thanks for your advice.
I bipassed selonoid to the starter and it would respond very well. Was that stupid or does that indicate the starter problem.
