In december or january i put a gallon of rotella in her and never started it.

Had to crank her over for maybe 15 seconds while i kept squirting gas in the vent for the float. (5 seconds on the starter at a time).

She lit off and jumped to 1000 rpm. And purred like a kitty.

All last year i ran an oz of tcw3 to 5 gallons of fuel. Gas smelt like regular gas when i started it, the carb didnt even have that (decaying) fuel smell.

She sat for 6 months total.
