Not me! At least not so far as "Priscilla" is concerned. Of course, the
Mayflower's engine was originally a rather low compression unit, and 45
years' time and wear have made it more so. Nonetheless, a startup after a
seven-year sleep didn't seem to be any problem at all!? 

I don't deny the potential problem(s), but it hasn't bothered me -- yet!
