Default Re: Starting dormant engine

31Tudor offers a good plan. After changing the oil, I would suggest also removing the spark plugs and pouring a couple tablespoons of oil into each cylinder, replacing the plugs and turning the engine over with the battery for a few strokes, without turning on the key. This wil engage the splash system on the rods and distribute fresh oil. Then proceed with your ignition and fuel delivery checks.
