  1. 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.

    REAL programmers write self-modifying code.

  2. 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

    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.
