[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 466965, member: 414"] If you get an engina that wont start or runs rough after being unused for a long time it could be valves stuck open due to rust on the stem . Pulling off the rocker cover while you turn it over will soon show if they are stickied If the stems are rusty then the worst thing you can do is try to run the thing because it will rip metal out of the valve guides and they will end up as loose as old mother goose after laying too many eggs. Now howdoyalikethatforaphraseijustmadeup. Ps . And rusty valve stems will damage the guide seals too. [/QUOTE]
