Bravo! Well Said! When I got my 8N, the previous owner had put on 6 Guage battery cables, and wondered why he couldn't start it in the winter...Duh... To paraphrase a wise man on this board, 'On 6 volt systems, keep your cables big and short'. I made my own cables from 1/0 (aught), fine wire, welding cable, copper ends, and brass WalMart battery connectors. I soldered the heck out of all ends with silver and flux. I cleaned every connection I could find on the whole rig with a wire wheel on a battery drill. The whole production cost me 2 hours, 5 beers and less than $10.00 dollars. 6 volts is plenty for these incredible pieces of engineering. If you 'need' more juice, there is something wrong. IMHO, you are better off fixing the 'problem' then band-aiding the symptoms... I will find out this winter if it was worth it, but so far I don't even need the choke to start her.
