Now that I finally arrived back home in California, it was time to get to work.
The first thing to do: let's see if it starts.
I was told that in order for this car to start I am going to need 3 things: air, gas, and spark.
Air: well that's a given.
Gas: My friend, Gerry, told me that since the car has been sitting for so long it would be best for me to drain the gas tank in case there might be dirty gasoline or sediment.
Spark: Didn't really check that one out, really hoping that it would work.

Gasoline is not supposed to be brown! It turns out that Gerry was right and I'm glad that I listened. If I didn't drain the gas tank then all of that dirty gas would have been sucked in by the carb and that would be a world of trouble.
