Hi fella's

Need some advice/help as to what the safest and least taxing (engine/tranny) method for restarting my S.

I've heard ppl say that I should remove the fuel pump fuse and give it a few cranks to build up oil/fuel pressure? Is this correct?


Background on what was done prior to storage:

S has been in storage since Dec 15 of last year.
Fogging oil was sprayed into the intake/spark plug holes
Engine was turned twice (while spark plugs were removed)
Stab-oil was added to fuel tank prior to storage (on a full tank)
Battery is hooked up to a trickle charger
Tires inflated to 45 psi and rolled monthly
Covered with OEM cloth cover in the garage.
Oil drained and filled with Mobil 10W30 + OE filter
Seats were covered with a generous amount of leather conditioner
Dash/Rubber all lub'ed with Lexol Vinylex
Washed/waxed prior to storage



Suggestions/comments welcome!

 

Wow, you're more anal than me when it comes to storing the s.

I think that the best thing to do before a cold star is to add a small amount of oil in the engine (I store it so that I only need to add 3/4 quart). But that's just me.

 

i followed what the guy did on the last post

 

Adding oil through the spark plug holes?

 

yea, u can do that...

 

yes but i used about 10 shots of wd40 or more for each cylender but i had to make an extection coming out of the wd40 can so the lubercant goes directly ontop of the pistons kinda like the lil red tube a wd40 can already comes with but just added something onto that, if you do this make sure you dont trust the can to hold the tube and that you hold the tube yourself to prevent it from going into the cylender

 

Deflate your tires to your desired pressure, turn the key on and let the fuel pump prime a couple times (key on and off 2-3 times) then push the little fun button. You were good to her before sleeping and she'll reward you now. Just let her warm up real good and the idle come down naturally before taking her on down the road.

 

Thanks for the advice fella's! Will be taking her out this weekend! Can't wait
