I just bought a 53 Super C. It was last used two years ago and it will not turn over so far. when I pull the starter lever the engine will crank very slowly. Battery is mostly charged, 6v, 593 cold cranking amps. Also floods carb.
Additionally, when connected to 12v battery via jumper cables tractor cranks a lot harder but will not turn over. When connecting 6v battery with provided cables, cranks slow. When connected to 6v battery via jumpers to the starter, starter winds up like toy motor but will not crank engine.
I am definitely going to rebuild carb but i want to get tractor started first. Also going to replace all the hoses, belts, plugs, wires, distributor, and eventually rewire the entire electrical system.
What should i do to try and get her running? Is it worth it to re-wire as a 12v system?
