It wouldn't hurt to check, but it will be the same as it was when parked.
Pre lube it, and I'd throw fresh plugs in. Maybe check the carb out (although I usually don't bother until after I have it running). If it has points I usually change them out.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

when your (drill) priming it turn it so the rotor is at #6 for a minute then turn it to #8 for a minute so the pass & dr heads can oil. What Cab said I'd pull the plugs & oil the cyls/rings. I would open the carb & see what it looks like in there & then when back together fill the bowls by hand & new plugs as needed.

Put in some zinc additive too. Comp Cams break in oil or similar.
