| Hi folks!
I figured out why I wasn't getting any fuel.  
I had a leak in the compression fitting within 
the gas tank.  Apparently boiling the tank 
didn't hurt a thing.
I put some Marvel Mystery Oil in the dashpots 
because they were slapping up and down pretty 
badly.  It helped, but it still doesn't idle.
I think I have the timing way off.  I'll test
it once the trickle charger revives the battery.
The starter really seems to labor turning this 
thing over.  I hope that is just because the 
engine is tight.
More later,
