The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Starting a motor that hasn't ran in awhile

So it turns over hard, acts as if there is no spark, and I have gas leaking out of every crack and crevice of the carb!! I just sat back, patted her good night and went to sleep.
I cleaned all the battery and ground connections very well. I will look into the needle and seet on the carb and will do some checking into the distributor and coil for spark. I am going to pull the starter off and bring it to the local old timer who rebuilds starters and alternators.
If it was easy our wives would be out there doing it!
