I have done just about everything I could to restore my A, so now it's time to get it running for the first time in about three years. I put in new clean gas, oil, water, plugs all gapped, wiring checked. And I have given it about 20 or 30 "practice" cranks. Yes, it is a hand cranker. And gas is getting to the carb. Before I took it apart it would start on one pull.
So today, I took off the air cleaner and sprayed some starting fluid into the carb. Cranked it about 5 times and it coughed once. Sprayed again. 4 or 5 cranks and a bigger cough. Promising. Again.

Any suggestions out there? How can I tell if gas is getting into the cylinders short of cranking the hell out of it and pulling a plug?
