If you have a good battery and a good starter, somewhere in the circuit is a connection with high resistance. With a 6v system you are more susceptible to resistance issues, which can absolutely be cumulative. Like was suggested, check where the negative wire meets the frame/block. Also the battery terminals themselves, they have fooled and aggravated me on many vehicles. What are you meaning when you say you see no resistance? Even a good connection has some resistance, just curious exactly what you're seeing there?

Valt posted:I went and had the battery replaced as it was older and they ordered me a new one. After installing the brand new battery the car was very hard to start cold. I drove it like this for about a day then that night it would barely start and in fact the solenoid got extremely hot. I'm wondering if the battery they installed is either old/weaker from riding the shelf, or undersized.

Well that's good news! Sucks that a brand new starter had to be 'fixed' with old parts, but at least you're rolling again.
