It sat for how long?---

And you never cranked it up, while it was sitting--right?

Get in it--and run the hell out of it--you just have a collapsed lifter
from sitting--it'll pump back up, and everything will be OK---

Just to be safe, throw a pint of Marvel Mytstery Oil in the crankcase
---it'll break lose any stucklfter that you might have--

If you had bee running MMO in the oil when you parked it--ths wouldn't
have happened--

Of course you fogged the engine, prior to parking it---right?

Ok let's hear the con's, on this verdict--

Later,

Terry
