[Shop-talk] 6 volts

[Skip Albright]

  I need to test  the engine on a 49 dodge. It has a 6v pos ground system.

My charger will do 6V , but has a "safety" feature that wont let it 
charge if it "sees" no voltage at the connectors.

How do I trick it into staring up?

on 12v I just add a jumpbox to the circuit until it gets going.

alternatively, can I jump the starter with 12v without fritzing the 
rest of the electrical system?

thanks

Skip
