What is the difference it makes to run a 6 vs 9 volt? Could one or the other harm the ignition? I’d love to try something that will last awhile too.
I don’t think so but except for my little test I’ve always used a 6 volt battery. Years ago I heard of people using 7.5 volt drill batteries. Remote controlled car batteries is another option I have heard of people using.

When I’m at the lake, weather permitting, I’ll be out 2 to 4 hrs. a day. 2 years ago I brought a 1928 Speedster. I had one, 5 year old Power Sonic battery, and a new one. I decided to see how long the old one would last as I had the new one as back up. The old one lasted 6 days. When the black ones were 3 years old, after an hour running, the motor started missing. These batteries a relatively small. Little smaller than a hunting camera.

Good to know. I will probably go with the ones you sent the photo of. For relatively small use, I assume that I can get away with one battery?
One of the good batteries is adequate. When a battery is getting low a motor will miss occasionally. As time goes on the miss happens more often. You have quite a bit of time before the motor will barely run and then comes to a stop. You will need to have a batt. connected to check for spark.

That battery will be acceptable for any Super Elto and I suspect any pre. WW-II motor with a battery ignition, but it is just one of many options.
