Well if it has been sitting that long not run you might change your oil, and maybe even your gas... You might think about lubing the apex seals a bit , but i think thats if they have been sitting for a year +. Someone else can chime in with that one..

If the gas tank isnt filled up already.... try and put 5 gallons or so in it. After that long... the gas has started to seperate and water will come out... and sediment and shit will get near the pump sock. Put some fresh gas in there to "mix" with the old and should help keep it running clean.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to do an oil change soon, and check all other fluids.

Pray :)

Might be a good idea to put a little bit of pre-mix oil in there. Not the normal ratio, but a bit less. Just to help give those seals a little bit of extra lubrication incase there is some shit collected in there.

Good luck!

Just a thought- check the battery voltage level. And make sure the alternator still charges properly.
