yes i did put an oil pan and oil in it.. alone with multiple valve adjustments

as far as i know the engine has only sat for a year or two. it sat outside so it did develop some rust.

ive cracked the top of the injector hard lines at the injectors, and fuel leaks out there. I havent done much with the vacuum governor, although now that i know how it works i will try to figure it out.

but i need a clear answer.. will it start with no intake manifold? ive tried plugging the line, and ive tried leaving it open.

also i have made sure to pull the control lever into start position each time.

while im at it does anyone out there have an intake they will sell me. im in rancho cordova, which is near sacramento California.

Thanks again, jack
