Check that all the electrics are in tip-top condition...if you can clean the float chamber in the carb...check that the fuel lines are clear....check the fuel pump.
When you do get the engine running...change the oil filter after a short time...if the engine hasnt run for 8 years there will be a little surface rust somewhere in there and you dont want the particles swimming in your oil.......the same with the coolant...rust may have built up in your water chambers and this won't do your water pump any good...I always err on the side of caution and change the water/anti freeze twice....plus i reverse flush the radiatior once the engine has been warmed up a few times.....just incase.
Theres my 2p...i'm off to work...i'm late
