Yup, that's the key. Top end now nicely lubricated.

I got a bit carried away.

I'll thieve the battery from the Pontiac tomorrow and see if it even wants to crank over. Both starters are a bit questionable.

One starter is bad and tries to arc weld itself.

The other is lazy. Awesome!

I do have spark though. I need to check the timing.

I'll get there in the end, I think cleaning up the starter should help, greasing it back up; I'll pull the battery from the Renault because it's a bit better than this one too.

Might even get a proper battery cable...

Success.

Not bad for a carburetor made from electrical tape.

Finished cleaning the carburetor.

Rear float stuck open, that's on the to-do list.
