[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 553172, member: 13810"] Hiya Marshy, I think an oil change with a multi flavour like Halfords 20 / 50 mineral classic oil, drain the fuel and get some fresh in, check the fuel pipes and the vents for the tank, fuel pipes are where it goes so sadly wrong with fires in these babies, a fresh battery because after nine years I`d imagine the old one is toast, then give it a whirl, maybe chuck a spoonful of juice down the carb to give it a head start and see what happens. After they have been stood up for that length of time, I`d want all new fuel pipes on and I`d keep an eye out for fuel pump diaphragms and crusty old fan belts as well, but just to start him up I`d do the bare minimum until you know where you are. Go carefull about splashing fuel around as well. :mrgreen: Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Good luck and fingers crossed :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
