I have not run my 1948 8N for about a month. When I parked in the barn waiting for snow plowing season, it had new points, condenser, rotor and cap. It started and ran really good. However, after sitting idle for a month, it does not want to start. Fires once and then just turns over without catching. I suspect that the attempt and then no start fouled the plugs, put new plugs in, still not start. At this point, the plugs are out and letting the gas evaporate out of the cylinders, have a trouble light next to the carb to help the gas vaporize when attempting to start. I also, have a radiator hose heater that I will plug in 1/2 hour or so before the next attempt.
The question is: Would a shot of starting fluid be of any harm to the old girl?
