My 72S has been in hibernation (or more correctly I have been negligent in my car pursuits) for about 2-3 years. I am going to bring it back to life shortly and would like to solicit your input for the things to check and do before tuing it over and hopefully hearing it purr again.

Some things I will do...

Manually turn the motor over to make sure there is no oil hydraulic lock from sitting.
Turn the engine without spark to build oil pressure before putting spark to it

Put in fresh fuel - maybe drain as much as possible of the old


What other things are suggested to do or check?
