Hi Everyone!
Okay it's been in the mid-70's for awhile here in Ohio and I wanna wake my girl up. I had her winterized, put stabil in the gas, and she's been sitting since late October. I'm seeking your expertise .... any suggestions before I fire her up?

Hi Sharon! exciting times for sure.

I started mine today, Un bagged it, took off cover, hooked the battery back up, pumped the pedal 1/2 dozen times, and cranked it over. Started right up, let it run a few minutes then took it out of the garage and let it run 15 minutes. Opened the hood and made a quick observation, looked for any leaks under the hood and under the car.

You should have no problem doing the same thing.
