If you mean the thing has been sitting a month, there is nothing to do,
except make sure there isn't a banana in the tailpipe.

If it has been sitting 9 months or more, the list becomes much longer;
new fluids, filters, etc.

Longer than a year or two without prep for being laid up, and the list
becomes copious, and a little expensive.

How long are you talking about?

Subject: anything special I should do after vans been sitting?

I have an 85 GL that is sitting until I come up with the dough to put on
some badly needed parts.  Is there anything I should do before I fire
her
up? (it is down about a month).
