Ken,
John Beaver and I have recovered 3 coaches over the past couple of years.
Two parked outdoors for over 20 years and one unknown but probably 10+. In
every case, we pulled the plugs and rotated the engine by hand. Then used
an add-on gas can (I now have an old-fashioned 5 gallon jerry can with a
mounted electric fuel pump to fit nicely on the front bumper) to feed at
least the initial start up.
We didn't rotate the oil pump, but probably should have. To refresh your
memory, it rotates CCW -- just check the plug wires vs the firing order.
We were VERY fortunate -- all 3 engines fired up easily, did and do run
great.
