Spring startup tips:
New plugs, new cap and rotor, check plug wires for chewing/abrasion, use ether 'starting fluid' to spin it up. Once started, don't let it die, and drive it for at least 10-15min to be sure it's warmed up and avoid carbon lockup. Check belt tension, coolant level (beforehand, not when hot), and clutch/brake master fluid levels. Drive it like you stole it,
