So working to get my restoration to start for the first time. Kept all 6V. Tried previously only to find out the guy on eBay sold me 12V coils instead of 6V. Got new (slightly smaller) 6V coils and at least the motor is turning over now᠁a little bit, but not nearly enough. When I originally took it apart, it had two coils. BTW, engine is a GMC 270 and it used to turn the motor and start fine before the restoration. Starter was bench tested before I put in, and battery is brand new 6V showing plenty of voltage. Again, it turns the motor over but barely. The only other thing that’s changed is that the 270 was bored 0.090 over as part of the rebuild. I’ve heard that maybe I need a four coil setup in the starter but wanted to see if anyone had any other thoughts before I blindly went that route. This is in a 1951 Chevy COE, FYI 😬
Thx,
Derek
