THe '48 M will crank and run on six volts! I found little issues with the starter, cables, battery, and even the starter switch.
The cable are 1 guage, I'm making up 2/0 cables for it.
The battery seems to have no load capacity, will charge and loadtest tomorrow.
The starter draws an excess amount of amperage. It was "rebuilt" in a pro shop. It appears to be jamming the armature into the rear bushing and binding.
The brand new junk starter switch fails to engage properly limiting amperage flow. By putting a shim between the foot pedal start and the switch I am able to make it work, but it is all loose. Looks like it is ready to fall apart. Does anyone sell a good quality switch?
I borrowed parts from my H as I troubleshot the start system and now have an M that will crank and run at 20 deg outside.
So much for the stroker theory! LOL!
I'm pleased with my findings and will finish the repairs during the coming weeks.
