Hi everyone,have not logged on for a lonnnnng time. so I finally got the time to source a rebuilt 1200 4 speed in my area (Vancouver B.C) and I have 2 weeks off school due to the Olympics. The 1000 has been sitting for quite a few months, I was wondering what steps I should take before starting it back up with the new 1200 box installed (A15 motor).

I was thinking of flushing the gas and giving it a oil change. Anything else I should be aware of when starting a car that's been sitting? Thanks

1. make sure battery is charged :) or have jumper leads ready :) obviously

2. check oil level

3. check radiator fluid level.

4. drain carby bowl, and turn key over to re-fill

5. clean the spark plugs with some emery paper

6. fire it up :)
