Took Car out of Storage.... Now Hard Starts. Help

Hey

I have a 1985 IROC Z Camaro with a 305 TPI engine. The car has been in storage for the winter, with occasional starts to let the car idle. I took the car out of storage today and it starts hard. What is goin on, it never used to start hard. Does the car just need some time to get back to normal or what is the problem.

Thanks for your help

Old gas made my Z start a little harder than normal this year, and run a little rougher. But I just used it all up and now it runs just like it used to last year...

That's something to check.
Oh, and I notice you always attach a pic and describe your car in each post, do you know how to make a signature, probably save you some time, if you need help, I'd be happy to help ya.
