It looks like the battery cables are too small for a 6 volt system. Using cables that are either 0 or 1 gauge are what is required to get enough current to the starter to get it to spin fast enough to start the engine. I also recommend attaching the positive cable directly to one of the starter mounting bolts for a better connection. I've own and have worked on Studebakers for more years than I care to remember and the six volt cars have had problems starting if the battery cables are too small.
Yeah these cables are shot and way too small. I’m very familiar with 6 volt systems. I’ll have to make a video of my Hudson that was in the same shape when I got it
U can put 12volts to the starter its fine been doing it forever it does not hurt them. Many people do the same especially when they go to 12 V conversion they don’t even mess with the starter

😮 She's a runner.
@2:30 those wires look loose the the connectors.
That poor starter 😭
Subbed
Put in a new coil that has the full 6 volt power.
Can’t watch this anymore you are going to burn up the starter
