240z hasn't been started in a year

[joeecenpi]

Since it's summer and I am out of school for 2 months, I've decided to give some needed attention to the 1973 240z. As stated in the title, it hasn't been started for a little less than a year. I've been trying to research what to do before I try starting it and I've come across this thread.

I was just wondering if you guys have any more suggestions? I really want to get everything right before I get started.

If you had said "5 years," that might have been cause for some worry.

IMO, you should check your oil level, drain/replace the old gas, and try firing it up. If it runs, then add a bit of SeaFoam in your fuel to clean varnish from the carb. Go for a nice drive, and when you return home, change the oil.

If it doesn't run, you probably have to clean out your carbs.
