Re: engine sitting for 8 yrs .

I've seen engines sit 25 years and start up. Check the fluids. A little oil down the cylinders is good. Borrow an oil priming tool. Using a 1/2" drill, oil it up before starting up. Just make sure to mark the distributor location. Drop it in in the exact same position. Pour a little fuel down the carb. It will help start it. Have a full battery charge. If it turns over, it will start if everything works.
