Default Hello

I just bought the turquoise and white 65 Bonneville four door with factory tripower and 8 lug wheels. It is in very good original condition with only 29800 miles showing, believed to be correct.

I was checking the carbs out last night and found that the front and rear have accelerator pump function but the center does not seem to be working. Also noticed that the secondaries seem to be opened by a vac device.

Looking for advice....I am comfortable taking off the top of the carb and cleaning it and rebuilding the pump....unless there is some good reason not to dig into it.

Also what about that vac actuator for the two extra carbs. Is that a good thing to keep or is it advisable to convert to manual linkages?

Also starter has gone on strike. with a good charge it will not even click when I turn the key to start, though the lights and horn work fine. Any likely hood that the ignition switch has checked out?
