Melting Slicks
I'm glad someone mentioned the cooling system. I don't care what coolant was in it when it was stored, most will go to crap after that long. Life events forced me to park mine for over 15 years and when I got back to it, I started by pulling the cooling hoses and found sludge in them and under the thermostat. I pulled the intake to clean it out and ended up pulling the heads and discovered sludge in the cooling water jackets as well. It got a complete teardown and block flush after that. It always had a 50-50 mix in it and if I'd tried to start it with that mess I would have clogged an otherwise good radiator in short order.
