As said by otherst a 6volt battery in good codition should happily turn the motor over and start it. So suspect the starter motor or connections. Why not disconnect the LT from the starter motor and use one of the small 12volt jump starters? There are heaps of cars converted to 12volts and still using the 6volt starter.
BTW my MGB had been asleep in storage since March 2020, the battery was dead flat and unchargeable, I used a little jump starter the size of about three cigarette packets and it was up and running. And yes I have had many of the full size jump starters with the lead acid battery and the battery usually dies after about 18 months even if it gets top up charges. My little jump starter with it's USB ports is still going strong after more than three years. I use it's USB facillity to run a GPS in the A7.
