Thanks for the advice. I'll do the oil, coolant, and spin the pump. Yes it has 2yr old gas in it, but very little, it was on or below E when i put it away, ill see if i can get it out and put fresh gas in. I was also wondering about putting penetrating oil in the cylinders, I've seen it done on cars that sat for years or junkers, but didnt know if 2 years would bring about rust or not. I'll check back to see if anyone else has an opinion on that. Thanks for all the advice.
