Just wanting to hear from those who know if they have any process or steps to getting an old unknown engine going thats been sat in a barn for 10 years.
What steps do you take, and in what order from as soon as you get your hands on it?
As long as the motor turns over i have had good luck pulling the the plugs and putting some atf in the cylinders and in the crank case. Turn it over a few times until you build oil pressure. Dump it, clean the sump and add fresh oil, new plugs, adjust/replace points, clean/replace cap rotor and wires, go thru the carb with a new fuel line from pump to carb. Adjust valves and fire it up, you'll know if you have problems to fix.
I have another post where I have a no start condition. poster earlier.
it outlines all I did to the car starter, wires, plugs, rotor kit, battery.
when I turn the key Gen light comes on but doesn't turn over.
if you want to reply in my other post I started that would be great.
