Okay guys, as some of you saw in another thread I am a younger guy looking to get into FV. I found a nice older Vee that I will be picking up in 2 weeks. It's got a Rollins Butler/Cricket Farms motor in it. The guy who has it now bought the FV as a backup when he was running nationals, he never raced it but did test drive it around an empty lot when he first got it. He parked it inside his shop and it has been sitting for around 7 years. He turned it over a time or two but it has not been fired since then.
What all should I do/inspect before trying to fire it up?
Here is my list so far:
Drain/clean/inspect fuel tank and lines (maybe replace the lines)
Clean carb out
New plugs and plug wires
New oil/filter
New transaxle fluid
Manually turn it over a few times to get oil in the cylinder
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, any suggestions on the best oil, plugs, and wires to run?
Thanks,
Spencer
