Well - I got her fired after who know how long she sat. It's a wonder what new points, coil, condenser, plugs, wires, cap and rotor will do. One shot of ETHER down the carb and she started idling pretty smooth.
After about two minutes, a loud squeal developed from the front end of the engine. I shut her down and re-fired. A couple of minutes later, same squeal.
I thought water pump, so I shut her down and pulled the pump. The impeller looks fine and the thing turns o.k.

Well thanks to the idea from "Pre '68 Dave", I took another look and found the generator was not turning. So I removed the GEN and pulled the back off. It looks like the armature is gunked up within thge field coils, or the front end bearing? is froze? I haven't yet got the pull off as it is 15/16ths, the one socket I don't (yet) have.
Any ideas or tips on what to do or NOT to do when working to free the GEN shaft? Can I spray it with PB Blaster or Wonder Drug 40?
Thanks!
