Default RE: Advice on getting an old engine running again?

Prime the hell out of the engine by blowing through the exhaust side of your tank.... pull the plug and run it for a few seconds with your starter..... all the fuel will gush out of the top, exhaust and possibly the carb. Put the plug back in and go! Thats what I just did a few minutes ago for my 1.08 which was rusting on the crank because it sat with the carb open for 6 years. Ran like a champ on the first flip.

Store the engine when you're done NOSE DOWN so the front bearing stays lubed.<br type="_moz" />
