It has a 6v genny, cutout, and 4 position switch, (its a 40 H). The engine is top notch, new pistons, sleeves, ground crank and cam, completely rebuilt head. It just seems that lately, its not go the power to crank well. I took the battery and it tested good, the genny is still showing a good charge, and I ran all of the connections to make sure they were clean and tight. (took the cables loose, cleaned them, and put them back on tight on both ends of each) Still getting the same thing. It runs on a magneto that I had redone by Magman, and it runs fine on it, but it just doesn"t start like I think it should. If I disconnect the 6v and use a a 12v jump pack, it fires up in just a second. Its just getting a bit old and I was considering just switching the whole thing over to 12v to eliminate the problem as trying to find it is making my already thinning hair thin that much more.
A story to make all the "hard start" folks sick:
I have a more or less neglected SMTA, with a nearly-in-the-grave-6v-battery, never touched the non-battery cable ends, it turns over so slow & weak the you can hear & see the fan blade pause at every compression stroke (until enough leaks off to allow turning to the next) and yet just when I think I'm finally going to have to work on it, the old machine fires off, year after year! :lol:
