you can try to spray a shot of gum cutter into the throttle body with the throttle blade open to see if it is fuel related. If it starts, focus on the fuel system and possibly injectors gummed up.

Learn to quote something so people know what you're talking about, grease monkey.

Pull the plugs and put a shot of oil in each cylinder..carnk it over before putting them back in.. been sitting that long without running there is probably almost no compression.. get a little oil in there should help... and of course the fuel and spark.. need all that stuff to make it go..

Ok quoteing asshole Dan.... I reply thru a different newsgroup at work, I cant help how other news groups pick it up. Now crawl back into your hole little boy

I'm an asshole for trying to help you be understood? How's that?

You don't really know what you're talking about. You aren't replying through a "different newsgroup". You're posting (at work) to a bullshit "web forum" which is synced to this Usenet newsgroup. Again, learn how to use the forum's quote/reply function, or learn what cut-n-paste means.

I'm only trying to help you, and not sure why you get offended by that.

Dan anything you say to anyone in this group is not worth reading and Im sure if we could get a raise of hands in here, 90% would agree. The other

10% would be newbies that just logged in today

Again, if you see the name Maxpower or Damnnickname... dont read what I have to say, its that easy.

Now I got a laugh at that one!!! When have you ever helped anyone in this group......or any other for that matter?

It's been a long time, I'd forgotten about the old oil in the cylinder trick. Thanks
