My Name is Don Millar,

I am one of the restorers for a Non-profit called Vintage Wings Inc. based out of Franklin, PA.

We have a 1943 Ford GPW that I have been troubleshooting. I'm looking for information regarding normal operation of the starter in the 6V configuration. the engine starts very slow and I'm trying to find out if this is normal or if there is current loss in the circuit somewhere?

now that the aircraft restoration is almost done, I have switched to giving the GPW some love. I put in a new battery and starter switch. All wiring, starter commutator and brushes have been re-furbished and cleaned. vehicle has a really hard time starting... any advice would be greatly appreciated as I followed all steps in the manual for troubleshooting this and it's still starting hard.

Thanks

Don
