If the tank is really bad I would replace it, the fuel pump, fuel filter, and rebuild the carb. But before I did all that I would spray some carb cleaner down the carb and see if it will run for a few seconds. If it doesnt then you also have ignition problems or possibly low compression in the engine...

If you have already tried to start it, you have done major damage.

See this info: http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/unstore.htm

It applies to 2nd gens, but much of it is valuable info for any stored vehicle.
