Any recomendations?
My 7 has been sitting for the last six months, and I am getting it ready to start her up. Any suggestions or recomendations as what I should do or check in respect with the engine?

If it ran before, it should run now. Start it up.

Did you squirt any oil or MMO into the plug holes before you let it sit?

After you get it running, I recommend an oil and filter change.

No I did not, I hope thats not bad news.
Do you think I should squirt some in now, hand crank and let it sit for a couple of days? Please advise...

I would recommend to do that as a precautionary measure.
