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 **** 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.

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 **** collected in there.

Good luck!

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