    You might try posting in the 3L forum (what I believe your engine is) and include serial number for best advice.

    In the meantime, do everything in this 3L FAQ topic as applies to your engine (ignore references to Optimax specific items such as compressor) - Recommended Annual Maintenance or Winterization for Optimax Engines

    If it was stored proper then just make sure has fresh gas and fluids and fire it up. If not certain then I'd pull all fuel lines...drain high pressure pump and clean entire fuel system.
