It hasn't been turned over in about 10 years, and I've replaced the waterpump and cleaned the carbureator and gas tank and replaced the two radiator hoses and put in new spark plugs and changed the oil...

Anything I should know before trying to turn it over and start it? It's been sitting in a closed garage for the past 10 years, if that helps.

As I said tranny fluid in the cylinders before you even try to turn it over. You might want to pull it out of the building because it can/will make a mess since you should turn it over with the plugs out to clear the cylinders. What the tranny fluid does is lubes the cylinder walls and frees up the rings so you don't brake a ring or score the cylinder walls. You will also find you will not have any spark because the points will be shot or probably will be from sitting that long.

Okay, I understand how to do that now, and will give it a shot. Many thanks!
