    Check all earths, change your plugs and double check the time my is spot on and set the dizzy correctly if it's an early one.
    Also check that any water and air pipes haven't perished or have major cracks in them, fresh oil and water obviously

    Pull the plugs first & get some marvel mystery oil down the bores & turn by hand a few times or youl score the shit out the bores
    also your fuel will be well feeked if there's any left

    Id look in the tank for gunk & flush fresh fuel through the lines

    Motor factor is fine, try and turn it by hand first if its been sitting for a while.
