I was just given (yeah, no kidding, given! A very nice man, I'm very greatful) a 1941 A. The last time it ran was about 12 years ago, and it was stored out side under a tarp. I got it home and put the crank in and the engine was free! So I went on a drained the oil (black, but with out much discoloration, probably the little bit from condensation). Before I went to poor oil back in I noticed that the filler tube was a little rusty, and the breather cap was pretty well gone. So I poped the valve cover off and there was piles of rust flakes everwhere, and not to mention one stuck valve. So needless to say this wasn't one of those "I rolled it off the trailer, added gas and she ran like new". What do you guys think, would pulling the head off and letting every thing in sight soak in kerosean for a while do the trick? I'm really not looking to get into a big rebuild project at the moment (I have another A that I just finshed the engine on, and would like to get that going), but having the old girl run would be wonderful. Oh, the air filter got some water in it as well and rotted out, so that's on the scap heap. The other intereting thing is that it seems to have an aftermarket (non-delco) Mag... All in all though the rear tires are 95%, with one about the same in the front, and the other a little questionable. The tin is very good, and the cooling system seems to be holding antifreeze. Thanks, Matt
