I used to fly planes 15yrs ago and am getting back into it. Moving a lot for work etc has kept my birds in storage for that many years and that being said, what will I need to do to get my engines running properly again and are they even slavageable? They are OS .46 engines, they hit the shed and I didn't do anything to prep them for storage because I didn't think it'd take 15yrs to pull them out again. Thanks for any info on this issue.

Hi,

welcome back, I came back after about 15 years also. I was surprised how easy it was to get back into flying. Two weeks after getting back in, I was teaching flying again.

As for the engines , some may be stuck. Do put oil into them before trying to turn them over, I would take the glow plugs out and put oil into the top of the pistons also. . If they are stuck, get backwith us, there ways to fix that.
