Couldn't find a good list of things to do for spring start up using the search. The Z was stored for 3 months using the suggestions in the forum. Battery is good because of the smart charger, and tank was full and had stabilizer added. They used to recommend squirting some oil in the spark plug holes, then disconnecting the coil so you could turn it over at low rpm a bit. Then reconnect coil, hope that the plugs didn't foul, and let her rip. Oil was changed before storage, but might change anyway. Would appreciate any advice on start up for engine or any other components.

 

I just started mine up.

 

People get so **** about cars. I don't envy the OP's OCD at all.

 

insert key, press clutch and brake, turn key.

thats what I did atleast.

oh, but first things first, check for spiders.

 

I just uncovered mine too. I did check the tire pressure and battery level then turned the key and let it warm up. It is ready to roll.

 

1. dont worry so much.

2. start your car!

 

j/w, i put sta-bil in my gas tank before i stored mine too, never used it before but i just turned the key and drove it like normal with the sta-bil in the tank after pulling it out of storage...should you take it easy till you get the sta-bil out of the system or is it fine to run it hard with that in the tank? not saying that i live my life one quarter mile at a time LMAO but i get on it every once and a while, just wondering if thats good to do with that stuff in the tank.

 

same thread title, different poster every spring

 

The first thing I would do is take advantage of the sales on winter tires and drive that bad boy next winter
