Can't start Model T. Any ideas? Help!! Thanks!!

[dudleybeyler]

My Model T has been in storage for a few years, over the winters I have poured a little oil in each cylinder and turn it over by hand.
I cleaned the plugs and the coil connections, the coils do not seem to be buzzing very well if at all now. I also cleaned the battery ground and terminals which were dirty, but did not make much difference in how fast it turns over. Never did have to turn over very fast, but it seems if it turned over I little faster would not hurt.

Any body have any ideas that may help? Thanks again

The coil points were cleaned? They should produce a strong spark check that and also do a compression test to see if a few valves are not stuck open.

You probably won't need to do everything on this list to get the car running, but it covers everything to do or at least check.

Sure the fuel system was completely drained when stored?

Went to start my generator the other day. Found some REALLY nasty "gas" in my generator. Drained it, put fresh gas in. runs like a top.

It is a plastic tank and I had put stabil in there but it apparently didn't help.
