| a little lube and coil unhooked wouldn't hurt. Fresh gasoline would be a good thing. Check oil. Fire at will. Sorry Will.

| Thanks, Bucky. I have a separate start button for adjusting the valves without the ignition on. Oil is Lucas 20-50 racing oil with about 10 passes on it. I put some of that Stabil fuel additive in the tank but I will add some fresh stuff too. Ed just can't help being an *******. |

| Pull out the distributor and prime the oiling system. Pull the plugs and just bump the motor over several revolutions a little at a time while priming the oil system. Put plugs back in, install the distributor and fire it up. |

| it's ridiculous that this guy who is as old as dirt and claims to be a bracket racer for decades, needs to ask what to do here. Clearly he don't know much and has no friends who could inform him of something he should know or at least be able to figure out as this is engines 101, no mind the concern about startup for engine that he implies is only being started to load it up to be moved so the engine can be pulled and freshened.  |

I agree with that but be careful sometimes carb gaskets can dry up and leak bad. Or needle and seat stick and then you have a potential for fire. Also I recommend with any motor, compressor, generator or what ever to spin it over and start it up once a month or so to keep cylinder walls lubricated and prevent light surface rust as moisture condenses especially in cooler weather. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

| Floyd, you continue to us all how clueless you are about the most basic things related to bracket cars, engines, etc. Why do you continue to post here, you have nothing of relevance to add to any technical conversation. |

| Ed, I continue to post here because unlike you, I have some good friends on this site. I have never been kicked off of a site like you have and most of us have meaning full conversations unlike you. Did your parents have any kids that lived? |
