Engine Start after a Break 4 years 2 months ago #192487

Hi. My lovely TF 160 has been laid up, sorned, in a warm dry garage for nearly 2 years now as I work away from home. I’m due home soon for a short brake and thought I’d start it up for a bit of an airing. so, any advice before starting her up again?

I'd probably disconnect the coil parks and turn her over to get oil all around the engine before reconnecting the coil pack and starting her up.

Fresh petrol will help too.

Ok. It has less than a quarter of a tank of fuel. I’ll put another quarter in to help freshen it up a bit. Should be enough?

I always fill up with a full tank of Tesco momentum after a long lay over. It is 99ron so higher than Shell or BP premium fuel (and the nearest filling station is 1/4 of a mile away while the others are probably 5 miles away).
