Just picked up a complete 1930 Regular. Got it started at the pickup point, drove 500 miles home before the big snows this weekend. After almost getting it started yesterday, I finally gave up. Although it was 10 degreef F, the sun was warm. I had the megneto advanced about halfway, the throttle halfway, and the choke closed until she started. Still, could not get it to catch and purr. Cleaned the plugs, but the gas started weeping out the elbow joint under the carb every time I cranked. I waited half an hour, and it popped with each crank, but by then, it was almost time for he Eagles-Falcons game. Any ideas? The gas tank has some sediment, but it settles and the bowl is fairly clean. Hand cranking is fun only when the thing starts!
