12 volt boost on 6 volt system

Posted by Belleville Neil on October 11, 2004 at 19:36:09 from (69.157.67.34):

Today I chatted with a fellow who bought his Super M new in 1952. He has used it regularily since. He has a 6 volt system but he has added a 12 volt booster battery for starting. He grounds (+ve) the 12 volt battery with one lead of a booster cable, then touches the starter with the other. Apparently it fires right up. I couldn't start my Super W6 on Sunday night after it has sat for the summer. I used a newly charged 6 volt battery but no go. Any thoughts on a 12 volt booster?
