He's alive! After dedicating an hour a night for countless nights to trying to get the Lark started, we finally had success! With a puff of smoke (okay, more like a mushroom cloud) and a blown out muffler, the Lark fired up...and wouldn't stop running. This, in turn, caused us to accidently wreck the starter as we tried to turn the ignition off and instead turned the key the wrong way. We eventually did get the Lark to stop (even disconnecting the battery didn't work...who knew?) and it will have to remain at rest until the starter problem is resolved. Thank you to all of our friends at the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum for all of their words of wisdom and support (refer to link below to go there). Without them, we would have never gotten this far. Not bad for a plumber and a housewife who know nothing about cars. By the way, does anybody know where the starter is?
