+1 on refreshing the entire fuel system *before* you try to start it! If there's one thing CIS systems do not tolerate, it is contamination.
* Drain the tank, remove and have flushed (eliminate scale and/or rust), replace the strainer and seal and seal (foam) to chassis
* Replace the 12mm (1/2") ID rubber hose from the tank to the front pump
* Flush out the chassis lines, blow out with compressed air
* Replace the fuel filter
* Test the fuel pumps, replace as necessary
* Remove the fuel distributor, warm-up regulator, and injectors for professional cleaning and testing -- TurboKraft offers this service, as does CIS Flow Tech
When reinstalling the system, bypass the CIS by connecting the FD's fuel supply hose directly to the fuel return line. Add fresh gasoline, energize the pumps, and flush the system again for 15-30 min.
The rest is like resuscitating most any other older car. Change the oil & filter, check the plugs and replace as needed, etc.
Be prepared for oil leaks from dried out seals.
