Re: getting ready
If the motor was setting outside exposed to the elements, then you might use a piece of weed eater string to make sure the tell tale tube is clear. Bugs like to build nests in them. When was the last time you replaced the water pump? If it has been awhile it might be a good idea to plan replacement. The rubber impellers degrade in time even without being used. If the motor was put into storage with the carb bowl drained, the carb should be ok. If the carb had fuel in the bowl when put in storage, you may have to rekit and clean the carb because of varnish. That is about all I can come up with for you. Now to get it running........
