Volks,

It has been several years since I lurked on the list and unfortunately it has also been several years since I cranked my van. It has been sheltered since 2006 and nothing special was done to it when it went in the shelter. It has simply been sitting. To quote a Doc Watson tune, "life gets tedious sometimes". So.... Other than the obvious battery charge/replace, what would you folks advise I do to the thing before I try to crank it, if anything? It is an 82 aircooled, stock, no engine mods.

Thanks,
