I recently inherited an Oliver 70 that was in the process of restoration but has sat for YEARS. He had it running after a rebuild and used to start it up on occasion but bad health had prevented that for a long time though not sure exactly how long.
I put a fresh battery in and without even trying the fuel system yet, I know it needs cleaned, tried to see if I can get her to go with a touch of ether. No luck. I ve since replaced the coil, tube up kit, and plug wires because the spark was weak even tough all those parts were new when done back in the day. I get an occasional pop but nothing else. I know I won t get her to run run till I get the fuel system cleaned but I should be able to get her to sputter a bit on ether. What might I be missing that would cause her to to at least show me she willing to run?
