Shimano Lark derailleur

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.

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.

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.
