after a motor has been sitting a couple of years, I'd imagine it's worth
lubing the cylinders, maybe with a squirt of oil through each sparkplug
hole, before trying to start it.  A year ago I started a long-sitter
(more like four years) and ruined a piston that had dried out.  I'm not
an expert, but maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in
