Got gas to the carb and it fired right up. No smoke or rattles! Let it run for a while, then saw a fuel line leaking out the side. took the jumper wire off the carb solenoid wiring and it kept running. Finally squeezed the fuel line off and it shut down. Fixed the bad fuel line. Then dove off into the wiring. I hadn't been able to get any continuity to ground so I started there. This has two grounds hooked to the battery, a big one goes to the engine block. The smaller one went into the harness. I got in there and found a crimp (factory) connector inside a poor substitute for heat shrink. The small wire from the battery ground had broken off, so nothing in the wiring had a ground. Reworked that with real heat shrink covering and the starter solenoid now works as it should through the ignition wiring. I bet that is why it got parked! I'm going back out and start taking wheels off. Tires will be here by Thursday, new switches soon after!
Oh yeah, since I have ran it a while, I checked the oil and it still looks new, not dirty at all!
