    shocking business

    Key on, distributor cap off, points open and with a plastic handled screw driver short the points out momentarily, you should hear a sharp click from the coil each time the points are shorted then left open.
    Don't hold the cap while doing this as you will gain instant brains, if you wasn't thinking before you will afterwards.

    Starting

    Just my opinion, but if it has not run for some time and you want to keep this S1, I would not try to start it.
    Bearing surfaces that have stuck to the crank, stuck valves and rings plus other thing can do far more damage than desirable.
    You really gain nothing from starting it.
    Pull it out and down then rebuild and you know what you have.
    I can show you main bearings that had almost no wear but the surface just came off if this engine had been started the crankshaft would have been damaged.
