Between some chores that I have to do...I have been playing with the Lark that has been sleeping in the "Man Cave" for at least 15 years. Last week I bought a new set of points for the Delco window type dist. and it wouldn't fire. Today, I went to the parts store and bought a new condenser and rotor. After the whopping charge of $3.05, I felt foolish for not buying those parts when I bought the points. I just came in from installing them. In addition to installing the new parts, I took the time to actually use a proper feeler gauge to set the points rather than "eyeball" the setting. I turned on the ignition, hooked up my remote starter, and then connected the battery. Wow, the darned thing tried to fire from the small amount of gas I had poured down the carburetor last week!
I had to discipline myself to not continue until I can rig up a remote tank to the carburetor. I am not sure what I will do with it when I get it running, but I have felt guilty for neglecting it for so long. I am just happy the engine is not seized and looks like it is going to run.
