As I said, I think I have 2 problems, one is the not cranking, which probably is a connection problem. I do have a couple of those battery terminal cleaners and used one, but it was about 5 degrees that day and I didn't spend much time on them.
The other is the one day when it did start, it ran for about 10 seconds and died. Re-started and ran 4 or 5 seconds and died. Re-started and it ran maybe 1 or 2 seconds before dying. That almost has to be a fuel problem. When I get to feeling better, I'll re-clean the terminals as that's probably where the first problem is. No replacement ends on the cables, put new heavy cables on with a new battery 2 years ago, starter re-built with 12V field coils near the same time. has been starting great ever since. Also new points and plugs about that time. All that was done within 3 or 4 months around 2 years ago. I dumped a bottle of Heat in it yesterday which should help if I ever get it going and the Heat circulated. The oil bath thing might be it also instead of a fuel problem.
