Made me think of when my dad was planning to re-start the engine on the 1919
Seagrave Pumper fire engine he was (is) restoring. This engine actually served
in the local (Modesto, CA) FD for over 40 years; and we had a B-B-Q attended by
invited guests including several generations of Modesto firefighters.
Dad checked, double-checked, then triple-checked the engine before the 'big
start,' but resisted the temptation to test-fire the engine beforehand. When
the big moment arrived, the engine started after brief cranking and ran fine,
then quit after a couple minutes. Dad had checked everything but one: put some
gas in the tank.

Double check to make sure the distributor is not installed 180
degrees off. I have a story about with a restart back in 1968.
Wish I could be there.
