Hello again... 
<br /><br />It has been awhile since I been here. I first posted in May about my Dad's boat. To recap, it has not been started in about 9 years. I asked for advice and received TONS of it. I thought I had a years worth of work on stuff that should be done, but completed most of the engine work in 6 months. <br /><br />Anyways, I am near completion with all the engine work. All that I lack is cleaning out the gas tank, hooking the fuel lines (brand new) back up to everything, and getting a battery. <br /><br />My question is this. When it comes time to start the engine, do I need to take an pre-starting precautions or steps? I have slowly turned the flywheel on several occassions, so I know it is not frozen. But what about dry cylinders? Any advice? <br /><br />Once again, thanks for the help.
