Why not 12V? Do you not have to change out with 8V?

  I agree. I was having trouble starting it when I first got it (it was 
the bushing) so I opted for an 8V. The 8v battery has more cranking amps 
and I want my lights to be as bright as possible.

Well, I’ll put this out there, although I don’t know if it applies. I was  
dealing with the whole starter bushing thing until someone told me to use a  
starter for an automatic transmission. I fits and works and does not need a  
bushing. I think your problem sounds completely electrical, since you say that  
your starter won’t spin. My two cents.
 
Oh, and why an 8V battery? I never even heard of that.

  It started last weekend and has now gotten worse. I had to get push 
started out of a tire shop on Saturday and 
I thought I'd had it fixed yesterday but had to get push started out of a 
show.
 
The starter won't turn. I removed the starter and figured the bushing was 
the problem again. The bushing came out with the starter. I put another one in 
and still nothing, I put in the old starter and after 5 attempts is started 
fine. Now nothing. Robb has suggested soldering the ends of the wires to get a 
good contact through the screw terminals on the ignition switch and headlight 
switch. I'm gonna try that tonight.
 
I am wondering if it is possible the 8v battery is wreaking havoc with the 
6v switches? Has anyone had a bushing come out with the starter? I never had 
and 
am concerned about that as well.
