My 47 H on 6 volts cranks nicely with new 2/0 cables and what seems like a decent battery but doesen't start till after a few trys and usally when you are pulling your thumb off the starter button. I re gapped it to .13 on # 1 TDC, and when it starts after a bit it purrs and idles great. This H has a mag that appears original and I touched up the caps contacts with sand paper. In my working on it today I put in the cap reversed and got it to start 180 degrees out of timing it ran ok on two cylinders with no power. My thought is that my original on - off switch is bad. I snap it on -off a couple time and it seemed to help a bit in the past. This could be luck though.
I get spark at the plugs though it seems weak, I am used to 12 volt systems though. Any thoughts on how a H should start ? I had a 65 Mustang for a long time that I had starting before the key was on the contact for

Brian since the mag is independent of the electrical system and it sounds like you are OK on timing, I would bet the mag is putting out a weak spark.

I had a similar problem with my 43H. It would only start as you let off the starter button. Just for fun I tried starting it with the hand crank and it fired up on the first try. Since then I have not used the battery to start it. I always hand crank it and 99% of the time it starts on the first crank. Just finicky I guess.
