Restarting after 2 years idle
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:01:14 »
Hello all.
What advice can you give me before i restart my car that has been sitting idle for 2 years in storage? Battery was disconnected but that's all i did when i last saw it. It ran well prior to storing.
thanks, Chris

Drain out old fuel, change engine oil and filter, remove spark plugs and squirt a small amount of oil ( engine, penetrating oil, marvel mystery oil etc) into the spark plug holes and let sit for a day or two. Replace spark plugs and fire it up.
