Car was 'on the shelf' for a while aiting for parts. Its a mac 28. I emptied the fuel lines and the tank, the fuel had turned to oil. Filled it up. Primed the engine. Glow start seems ok but I've put it on charge agin just to make sure.

Can anyone help me here, I dont know alot about the engines so spell things out for me please.

Thanks
James
