Re: Did I Get a Dead Hitachi Mini-Starter?
Finally got the engine running after sitting for 15 years or so. Steps taken over the period of a month or so were:
Change the engine oil.
Squirt Marvel Mystery oil into the cylinders.
Prime the oiling system with oil pump tool.
Fresh gas.
Change to a mini starter when the existing starter wouldn't work.
Change to an MSD distributor when the mini starter wouldn't work with the points distributor.
Started right up and ran great. I love making progress.
