Just so younger people know, it was not normal to have to pump so much gas into the cylinders even when cold when carburetor equipped cars were new. On my 1974 Dodge Coronet with a 318, it took usually just one pump to close the choke, and the car started right up, even when under 0 degrees F. Granted, that was a 12 volt, alternator equipped car, but If you're having to pump gas continuously to keep even a 6 volt car running, there's something wrong, and it may even be easy and cheap to fix.
Actually, they started surprisingly well compared to a 1988 3 cylinder 1 liter Chevy Sprint that I had. Maybe because there were 8 spark plugs, which raised the odds?
Boy that was one goddamn good starter on that Dodge engine the way he was cooking that thing and it still didn't fry But those six volts are like that though they're really weird Sometimes you got to crank the living shit out of them to get them to light. And they are really slow like you think the battery is dead but they're not LOL
Interesting but most of these vehicles look like old junkers that have not been well maintained. I first started driving in the 6 volt era cars (54 plymouth savoy, 55 ford, 51 chev,) I don't remember having much trouble getting them started until temps were in the -10 to -20 degree F range. -20 and it got pretty iffy. Nothing like today's gas powered vehicles though in terms of dependability in cold weather.
I have been using an aerosol can of ether for my 1975 Toyota. Now I’ve worked on the carb. and don’t need it. But I keep a cam in the house for raid cold starts. A small spritz at the input to the air cleaner makes it fire right away, but then dies, so another small spritz, dies again, eventually it stays running. It preserves the battery.
I think it comes down to the oil being thicker almost frozen solid literally slowing the rotation of the engine and also cold temperatures reduce the voltage of the battery

As a guy born in formerly GDR, I really liked the 6V Trabant Startup!
But the 6 V VW Beetle, too!
Are they all insanely loud on the inside or did i just drive a really bad one.
@@1marcelfilms They have no good interior insulation but if everything is fine, they are not that loud, except at speeds above 90 km per hour. 😇
The one i was looking to buy sounded like a subwoofer just blasting in your ear at idle. @@nhcs2k

Those old petrol ones are my favourites ⛽
poor dodge starter motor , guess he can rebuild it every winter
How can he torture the poor starter motor like that?
He should have give it and the battery a break!
I think the starter got hot enough to warm up the engine and that's how it started
I had an old F150 with that same inline 6 engine. Always started even in -30C. What a great engine.
That Dodge at 3:34 has to have two 6 volt batteries in parallel and the most robust starter ever.
Big block GM v/8s tough starting in extreme cold weather.

😀
At 3:19, I thought she was gonna burst into a song! She seriously sounded like the beginning of a record!
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
That Dodge Truck from 1954 has strong starter 😁💪

@@nhcs2k or even throttle choke it! come on..
It has strong resistance to get started.
1954 Dodge truck,one hellva battery!
Cześć Wymiatacz. To było z......e. Piękne auta z duszą. Pozdro Stary. 👍👍👍
The Dodge sounded like a horse being flogged.
Good way to burn out starter motors

Preserves the battery but supposedly washes the oil off the cylinder walls thereby decreasing compression. Use too much and it won't start period.
Why are some starts difficult
I think it comes down to the oil being thicker almost frozen solid literally slowing the rotation of the engine and also cold temperatures reduce the voltage of the battery
@@jaredreck882
OK got it my friend
Poor starter
