Thanks for the replies! We am located in Huntsville ON. I haven't pulled the carb yet. Our real concern is if we can get things to turn over than we'll go further. Assuming that things are not seized our next stage is to get it started. Once that (hopefully) occurs we plan on starting a fundraising campaign. Our Mk2 has been sitting outside, unprotected, since 1985. There was some vandalism done to it 10 or so years back, gauges smashed, switches broken... It was then surrounded in a chain link cage. I have a personal tie to it as my grandfather was the head tool and die maker for Inglis who built the Bren gun magazines. I actually have the 1,000,000th magazine that rolled off the line during war time.
As this project will be publicly funded we need to show them that it's worthy of their $$. Hopefully with getting it running this will open their pocketbooks. Then we can cosmetically begin the work.
