Maybe this is why.

My question is why would you question someone trying to help you? shruggy

Firing a motor that has sat for some time is relatively basic.
First thing I would do is drain and replace the oil & filter.
Next check for spark.
Check timing,
After that fuel is the only thing left.
Oh and if it sat a long time there might be something restricting the exhaust.




I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
