Got it running

1931 Yellow 1931 Model A    One of the vehicles that are parked here at Tallac. It has been stored all winter in a barn here on the site.  First Session is the time to get this and the other vehicles out of storage and parked in front of the Baldwin House.
   Getting it started was interesting.  David and I pushed it out of the barn.  David Googled how to start a Model A.  We went through the ten steps several times.  After several attempts we towed it with one of the Gem Cars ( electric vehicle) to it's parking place.  There the attempt continued.
Fuel in tank?   Yes
Water in radiator?  Yes
Spark Plug "wires" ok?  (They are actually copper metal strips)
Coil Wire?   OK
Getting Spark?   OK
Loose wire connection?  Ta Da !!
The Ten steps worked like a charm ! We drove it around for a short time and returned it to it's parking place and erected the canopy over it.
