    I removed the spark plug and sprayed some starter fluid. Got a pop. Ignition system is working.

    Sprayed some in the carb intake and it ran for 3+ seconds. Piston and valves appear to be doing their thing.

    Also added grease.

    Tomorrow I tackle the fuel system. However, the gas tank has lots of surface rust on the inside. I read something online about using E85 gas and nuts with threads, but no instructions. I assume remove the tank, add fuel and nuts, and slosh it around with access to oxygen removed? Any other ideas would be welcomed and appreciated!

    This has become a fun project!
