Does anybody have a drawing of how the cable connection is supposed to be done for this ancient model? It has a pre- selector function, but the way I have it set up, it wants to pull the spring-loaded arm into the cage, and it doesn't shift.

It sounds like your Lark is correctly hooked up but needs to be put out to aviary (junkyard), as the spring rate on the anchor arm has weakened to now less than that of the parallelogram, instead of the reverse, as it once was. You should be able to find a substantial upgrade for around $3 used, or new, for 10-15. Mark Pace Pace Bicycle Haven Independence, MO 64050

That's basically what I ended up figuring out.

I eventually got it to shift, though poorly, and then gave up and put on a der from another yard sale bike I had sitting around.
