Hi all.
As the title says, I've picked up a 1986 K100 RS that's been sat for 14 years. It's got some superficial rust on the frame and exhaust etc.
However, I'd like to get it running before I strip it for restoration.
I'm hoping someone is able to give some advice on the best approach here (as I'm a total noob).
I was thinking - Check/clean/replace fuel tank, pump and lines. Oil change. Clean/replace fuel injectors and spark plug.
Is this a good plan or should I be worried that the engine is seized after this time?
Thanks,
Alex
