1966 Servi battery

Have a 1939 Trike (engine), converted to 12v system, with a 1966 electric start added (last owner was handicapped). Trying to find out the proper battery to use (Ah and CCA). Previously use battery was a car(?), concerned the CCA are to high (750). The components to the starter are basically the same as a XLCH that uses a 28Ah 280 CCA. I have this battery presently, but it doesn't seem to kick over the starter system. Any ideas out there?

Thanks, Paul from NC

I have a 1956 servi with no electric starter. I use a $25 riding lawn mower battery like they sale at Auto Zone, etc. I understand many people that have electric starters use the same battery.
