starting an old gas enine

Posted by Joe Bloggs on March 16, 2005 at 17:27:42 from (4.250.21.19):

any ideas or sugestions on what I should do. I have a case 420b loader with a gas engine.It has not run for 8 years. I have got it so it has spark at all four spark plugs and I rebuilt the carburetor after removing the exhaust and inlet manifolds to clean them out.
the engin turns over freely but will not start it only wants to fire on 1 cylinder.
i am thinking that the valves that were open when it sat for so long are not able to shut properly.
how would i check for this or cure it with out removing the head.
