Default Anyone speak Saito FA 270t?

Just took the cowl off of this EZ Cristen Eagle to find a FA 270T. I am still trying to figure out all the wiring and tubing in this plane. It seems it has smoke and an on board glow.

This engine hasn't been run in at least 8yrs. It is a Gk and has 2 plugs per cylinder.

What is my next step? Do all four plugs need to be hot? Does it need to go in for service somewhere? I would like to crank this motor up but don't want to ruin it. It is stiff, I don't know to what extent it is gummed up, as I have never had a gummed up engine. It is beautiful and intend to fly this old plane before it gets retired.

thanks
