So I thought I’d try to see if the 61 I purchased recently that had been parked in a barn for 25 years would start. Starter motor pinion was stuck, freed that up and it cranked over. Put a ser of points in her, poured a bit of gas down the carbs and cranked her over. To my surprise she fired a couple of times and almost ran. Popped the tops of the carbs and filled the bowls with fuel and tried again. She came to life idling at about 1500 rpm, 50 lbs oil Pressure and sounding good. No knocks or rattles and really no smoke just some rust and dust on initial start up. Didn’t even trigger my painfully sensitive smoke detectors. So if anyone needs a good series 1 motor and box ( no n overdrive and unknown condition) pm me
