I rescued a very old, neglected chassis and drivetrain from Connecticut a couple of weeks ago. Since the engine looked pretty good, I decided to see if I could free it up, then put a carb and distributor on it, replace the old broken plugs, put some new oil in it and get it started. I know it’s probably a pipe dream. By now I’ve spent about 20 hours on this engine. I have compression, fuel and spark; no starter. Any ideas about getting it to start? I’m thinking I’ll need to tow it. I can’t get enough oomph with the starting handle. I’m open to suggestions…
