A very warm welcome Paul, It is possible that after a long time off the road that you will find the compression is not sufficient to get a start, put a little "Redex" or light oil in each bore, use an oil can and try to aim for the wall of the bore (only use about half a teaspoon, any more will oil up the plugs) Its best if you can do this the day before you try to start the car. The other MOST essential thing is to use a thick cloth on the starting handle, any more than a dozen turns of a 7 starting handle is guaranteed to give you a nasty blister in the palm of your hand. Regards Ian
