Starting TR7 after storage

[PARKS <PARKS@ithaca.edu>]

Ladies and Gentleman of the list.

I have been off the list for several weeks but have returned with
a question.

I have just added to my fleet at TR7 that has not been run in five years.
I will be going through the brakes before trying to drive the car but the 
question
is:

What should i do to the engine before trying to start it.  I am told that
it ran well when it was put into storage five years ago.  When I say
storage, it was simply parked and forgotten.

I also have a TR6 engine in the same condition, out of the car, and in
a year when I put it in the restored body I will be dealing with the same
"storage" condition.

Any suggestions or ideas about how to "wake up" this thing??

Thanks for your help

David
