Aaron, The M I had almost didn't need a choke. I would give it about 1/4 throttle, and full choke, and then crank it. Once it popped, (which only took 3 or 4 revolutions) I'd shove in the choke, and it was running by that time. That worked in all but the coldest (like 0) weather. I put mine on 12 volts, and only had a small to medium (like 550-650 amp?) battery on mine- that's all I felt it needed. And that's all I did need. As far as burning up starter switches? I'd take the starter off, open it up, and clean it up at the very least. If it was to be drawing excessive amperage, I suppose it could fry a starter switch. I haven't had one do that to me, but I have seen sparks off my battery connections before, and every time that happens, it's due to dirty or corroded connections. IMHO. Bad starter drive and or flywheel ring gear could be causing your locking up issues- you'll be able to evaluate their condition once you take the starter off. Good luck! -Andy

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
