Rx7 sitting for long time

Ok, well my unlce has given me an rx7 but it has been sitting in a garage for 3 or 4 years now. I am trying to get it started but cant seem too, he said the engine went good last time he drove it except it kept getting flooded. So im thinking that it might still be flooded. But i was wondering what i should do to make sure i dont hurt it after it sitting so long. I put some iso heet in the gas and put some new gas and everything and i got a new battery. Any help would eb appreicated.

your best bet would be to drain out the old gas and flush the tank out with new gas if at all possible. also replace the air filter, spark plugs and wires and change all the fluids and try again
