[Shotimes] spring ahead

[Zach Leahy]

A good precaution is just to double check all of the fluid levels
vefore firing it up, then start it an let it idle for a while while
looking and listening for anything erratic.  Sitting that long, it may
need the battery charged too.  Once you have it out and running, drive
it easy through the gas that's in it before you fill the tank with
good fuel.  Old fuel has a tendancy to oxidize or something and loose
power.  In that case It's not a great idea to go to the drage on a
tank of gas that sat all winter.

So drive it nice til the tank (you parked it full right?) is empty,
refill, have fun.

Changing the oil early on is a pretty good and cheap thing to do too
as it may have degraded over the months.  Likely it's fine, but it's
worth the cheap insurance of knowing you did it.
