What to expect during 1st startup after 7 months of storage?

FYI, you generally want to store it with an empty tank, not full. You now have a tank full of 7 month old potentially bad gas. But since it runs, it is probably fine.

Proper procedure would be to get the tank as low as possible when you store it, add fuel stabilizer, then when you pick it up, bring 5 gallons of gas with you to dump in to dilute the old gas.

From all sources I've read, and heard that's absolutely the opposite of what one should do...

Full tank so Rust does not form in the steel fuel tank.

^ This. Not likely to have gone bad after 7 months either, especially with fuel stabilizer.

After 7 months you will spin bearings.

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to START!

[Mr. Burns]

Can't talk. Gotta replace my halogen fluid in my bulbs.

Why you wasting the $$ on halogen fluid? That's like putting platinum plugs in an M20!

[BergerNJ]

bro just change the muffler bearings once you top off the halogen fluid...

Did you add a stabilizing agent to the turbo encabulator at all before you stored it?
