Frankr – I want to thank you for your detailed help. I think, however, that my electrical lesson will be postponed awhile. I revisited my throttle linkage and determined that it was not completely reconnected. I manually turned back the steering bracket throttle (not with the throttle cable running to the upfront controls, which I disconnected). I turned the key and SUCCESS!!! It turns over!! That being said though, I have very little travel in the throttle cable. The upfront lever only moves about an inch. I’m guessing the cable needs to be lubricated? Remember, the motor sat for 50 years. How does one lubricate the cable (rubber-like casing with a wire inside). Or do I replace the cable with a new one?
