Tom,
If everything is original it will be 6 volt, rather than 12 volt. Personally if you have a few pounds to spend I would fit a modern geared high torque starter and a 12v system which will mean tweaking the dynamo and ignition..talking of which, again I’d go modern and fit electronic ignition. It might sound like cheating, but if you want to enjoy the vehicle and not hate it it’s worth considering a few discrete upgrades. This of course is just my opinion.
