Thanks for the kind words about the headlight. I like to do what can't be done...it's a hobby. Wait until I post the refabed wasted mufflers...

I want you to try an old school technique to start the engine. Add a 1/2 ounce of clean motor oil to each cylinder, screw in the spark plugs and try to start the engine. The oil will increase the compression. If it starts and keeps running, let the engine run as long as possible.

Look for a good ebay tank (IMO) Clean out the tank and use Evapo-Rust to remove any rust.
