engine starting
Hi everyone- what s the best way to get an old BB to life after it has been sitting a few years? I know that the motor was running before it went into garage hibernation, but it hasn't been started or ran in probably 4 years.. any advice?
thanks

Change the oil & filter, remove the spark plugs, shoot a tiny bit of oil into each cyclinder. Once you have everything ready, remove the coil wire so it won't fire. Turn the engine over a few times allowing it to get thing moving. Re-install coil wire, fire engine.
) I would also pull the distributor & drive the oil pump for a bit to make sure oil is run thru the motor.
