Have a '48 8N (front mount) thats been sitting for 5 years. Decided to get it running after my Yanmar developed problems. Original 6V system. Replaced rusted gas tank, rebuilt the carb, new battery and cables (heavy gauge), new points and condenser, and new ignition switch (the old one tested bad). Tried first start on just battery and very slow turnover. Tried jumpstart (12 volts), positive to ground connector and touched negative to starter solenoid bar and it wouldn't turn over at all? Just clicks. Would have thought it would spin like crazy with 12 volts? Maybe bad ground connection?
