Ok, I'm trying to get my friends Westi started, is an 87, the last time he said it ran was more than a year ago, he replaced the tires and battery and it was still running well, then work got busy got a new suv....year later.....
now, I'm thinking the following to get it working:
trickle charge the battery for 1 day,
drain the gas add new gas-how to drain the gas?
see if it cranks.
if still no crank check for voltage at starter
if cranks, won't turn, check sparks, and fuel delivery.
do I need to squirt some as in each cylinder?
replace plugs etc.
the only concern I have it might have a leaking head issue, however he said it ran fine a year ago. and the only way to check is after the engine is running correct?
any other inputs welcome, I will start doing it this weekend, he said I can have the westi for cheap if I can get it working and out of his house.
