1LE won't start after sitting a looong time.
I have a '91 1LE that has basicly been sitting around for years. I got the bug to finally get around and fix it up. I charged up the battery, and it cranks over but will not start. What should I try? The tank has gas, but I'm sure it's old. Are there any addatives I should add? I just want to get it running so I can move it to a location where I can really get into it and change all the fluids, ect... Any ideas?

Yup, get rid of the old gas as much as possible. Spray some engine starter fluid into the intake and see if that is enough to get it going and suck out where the old gas has gummed up.

syphon the gas out, dump new gas in it, and spray some starter fluid in the plenum. When it starts up make sure to check all the fluids and take it out for a nice long drive to work the bugs out.
Get on it once or twice (hehehe) to get all that carbon out.
