Just had to share this story will you all. I got this 1200 coupe that has been sitting for over 10 years, came without a key, got one yesterday. So this morning I decided to see if this car would start. So I removed air cleaner, and vaccumed out the walnuts and mouse nest that was there. Looked in the Carb and it looked fairly clean, so I hooked up an old battery, and turned the key. To my surpise the engine started to crank over, well the motor is not frozen. Then I got real smart and shot some starter fluid in the carb, turned the key again, and I`ll be the motor fired-up and idled for a few seconds. Now this is where it get really interesting, instead of pouring gas in the gas tank I put the fuel line in a soda bottle full of gas(smart, Yes). Turned the key one more time and BINGO constant idle. That I think is good for sitting over 10 years.
