Ha!

I tried to pull my 90 out of storage last evening as well. I put it away in
january will a stalling / vanagon syndrome problem.

Van started right up but ran roughly for 2 minutes. I tried to rev it up a
bit to warm it up faster - when I let it back to idle - it died and would
not start. Tried a couple of times over the next 20 minutes - NADA.
The engine is getting gas but seems like no spark..........

Figured I would start looking for spark first and then go from there...
