Starter question

Posted by smashburn On 2015/5/28 12:28:11

Hey everyone. I hope you can help me with some advice. I am restoring a 1954 Cavalier. I have the motor back in the car. It has new points, wires, condenser, rotor button and plugs. It has compression. It is getting fuel and there is fire. It still won't start. My question is related to the starter. I'm wondering if it is not turning fast enough. I don't have a comparison so I don't know. It turns slow but do all the 6 volt starters turn slow? Just trying to figure out why this thing won't start and wondering if the starter is bad. It sat up in a field for 35 years. Thanks for any help.
