Best List/Guide to Getting Cars Going Again

Posted by Roach_Coach_Bangbus@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 1 comments

The last few years have been crazy between 2 young kids, work and a bunch of other stuff. I have a 66' Chevy II and a 49' Willys Overland that have say neglected for a few years. They were both running just fine but they have sat for 2 years. I know I know I should have drove them occasionally.

I picked up a couple of new batteries but wanted to make sure I go through the steps right to get them going again. Anyone have a good video or list or something? I am fairly car handy, I have just never gone through this specific process before. Thanks in advance.

Check fluids Use a 1/2 ratchet to turn the engines over 2 full rotations Discount fuel lines from fuel pump Turn over short time with starter Squirt some gas down carbs Turn over and see if it sputters If spitters than change fuel filter, and blow air back through fuel lines to tank. If no fuel filter add one Drain and replace gas Squirt more gas down carb Crank and fiddle with gas pedal until running.

Or just cross your fingers and send it...
