<font face="Arial" size="2">Can anyone share what they've done to prep an engine for starting after it's sat for many years. They are pretty durable little motors but some say drop kerosene and trans fluid in the plug holes etc. Any tips I can draw on here. The engine has been sitting idle for about 20 plus years. It is free and I'm assuming(hoping it's fine). Oil, filters, fuel changes are a given.</font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">I also found the car rolls freely when the trans is in neutral but once in gear and the clutch pedal to the floor it won't. The clutch pedal feels fine like it's pressing on the plate. I'm guessing the clutch and pressure plate are stuck in the drive position and they need freed up. Does anyone have any other thoughts and is it likely the clutch will free itself.</font>
