I have a 46 1/2 ton ART DECO with a 6 volt system, without a starter
solenoid. I had thougts of wiring a spring loaded switch with a ballast
resistor. When starting engine, hold switch closed(supplying full 6 volts
to coil),then release switch(power goes through ballast, 3 volts to coil) .
The purpose will be to save points wear. Whatdoya think? This also has a
polarity reversing switch mounted to the starter motor
