John's back in town, so of course we immediately started to play with the Lark again tonight. With the help of ChopStu (who provided the ignition switch) and Barnlark (who provided us with the shop manuals), John was able to hook up the ignition and actually get the engine to turn over. If you follow the link above, there's a video of the attempt. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get the car to fire, but we were pretty encouraged by our first efforts. BUT...here's the problem: after trying to get the car started several times, we turned the key and NOTHING happened. No click, no spark, no boom....absolutely nothing. You could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet. We first thought that we might have run the battery dead, but we determined that wasn't the problem. Any ideas or suggestions on where to start from here? Remember...we are entry-level mechanics (think kindergarten) here and need simple terms, if possible. Thanks in advance if you can help.
