Bryce, some other things to check since it's been setting.

You may well know these, some go for any make/model.

Compression - valves and/or rings can stick from setting.

Plugged intake tubes and exhaust pipes. Mice or mud daubers.

Mouse chewed wires and bees nests.

That N has 3 fuel screens to clean. One in the top of the glass

sediment bowl, one in the elbow at the carb, one inside the tank.

You have to unscrew the sediment bowl assembly for the last one.

Leave it alone if you have good fuel flow.

You need at least a couple gallons of clean fuel in the tank.

The N's have a "reserve" tank opening at the bottom that is

usually plugged with dirt/rust, so only open the fuel valve about

two full turns. Not all the way open.

Starting an engine with no oil pressure is a bad thing.

Prime the oil pump with gear oil. You do that through the big

nut next to the distributor. Be careful not to lose the spring and

plunger behind it. Pump a cup or so in there then roll it over key off.

Yes, that flat spot on the plunger is supposed to be there.

It was originally 6V positive ground, may still be. But you can

spin it with a 12V battery to build oil pressure before starting.

Leave the key off and roll it for short periods so you don't overheat the starter.

Don't jump the 6V battery directly with a 12V battery.

If you need to jump it, jump it to the starter while in neutral.

Let the 6V battery power the ignition.

I'm sure I've left some out, but hopefully that will help.

Keep us posted!
