What else?
I am finally about to get the truck started after 8 months of just sitting. I have filled the HPOP reservoir, I have the batteries on the charger and will be checking the fuel bowl for fuel flow before trying it. I also will have the charger with the start boost on it while cranking. Anything else you guys can think of that I am missing? I am starting to get excited about getting this thing running again.

How empty is your fuel tank? Maybe mix in some fresh fuel, and be prepared to drain some water since there's likely been condensation in the tank. Since water will settle to the bottom of the tank (where the fuel pick up happens to be), I'd plan on draining that a few times even if the light doesn't come on.

A little ether wont really hurt it, I wouldnt spray half a can in it tho. It can also vapor lock it also. Speaking of condensation........just asking........the new fuel WILL grow algae(spelling??), for some reason the new fuel that is available at the pumps now days will grow it. I work on larger truck engines and Ive seen MANY trucks come in that havent had fuel filters changed for quite some time and its in the water seperator. Here's a clue, if the fuel smells kinda like a vinegar smell..........thats it forming! Good luck
