I finally got my "54 Oliver S55 running today, after sitting for the better part of a year. Maybe 9 or 10 months. New governor linkage & assembly, points, plugs, rotor, condenser, cap, wires, coil, battery, and probably some other things I don"t recall. Oil change & sediment bowl cleaning, added new gasoline & Sea Foam.

For you more experienced than I (which means everyone): What do you think this means? Something to worry about? Anything I need to address?
