Im assuming try and jump first offm but what else? Any ideas? I know it'll need a tune-up once its running.
Also, the shift stick is VERY sticky, hard to get from reverse to Park. Doesnt feel like it ever lands in the gears. Its Automatic FWIW.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!
What everyone else said...plus since it's been sitting for so long without being run, I would recommend disabling the ignition and cycling the engine a couple times to deliver oil to the head.
