If you have a kill switch located in the trunk with cable running from the battery to the switch, that is a LOT of extra cable, and it WILL reduce the amount of power available to the starter.
I suggest you move the switch to the front floorboard just forward of the driver's seat. That makes it accessible to the driver and eliminates the long cable or cables. All 6 volt cables need to be full size and of top quality, and all fittings and switches need to be of high quality. You want the shortest path for the heavy starter current that is practical. Adding a ground cable from the engine to the frame is a good idea. All connections must be clean and tight.
