Nope. You shouldn't of hurt anything by
trying to start with charger hooked up.

Sometimes with a low enough battery, and
all the juice going to the starter for
cranking or an attempt to crank, there's
not enough juice going to the coil to throw
a spark. Kind of like everything being sent
to starter. You don't have this problem
with a fully charged battery. But a half or
less charged battery, you could run into
this.
I'm guessing you'll have spark back with a
new fully charged battery. So try that and
see.

Make sure you replace battery with same
type that it has now. If it's a 6v, replace
with a 6v. If 12v, then a 12v. And also
(this important), that you note how the
cables are hooked up in terms of + or - on
the old battery. If positive cable goes to
the ground post (positive ground), then
hook up new battery that way. But if not,
hook up as negative ground. You NEED to pay
attention to this when you unhook the old
battery. If you replace with wrong battery,
or hook up new the wrong way, you can 'FRY'
something on the charging system.

A 53 Cub was likely 6v positive ground when
new. Hard to say what it might be now.
Could of been converted to 12v or who
knows. So, you'll have to take notice of
what you got.
