Hi and apologies if this has been posted before-couldn't find anything.
Apart from an oil change, oil filter replacement, spark plugs servicing, what other things should I look out for?
I've also sprayed some lubricant after removing the spark plugs.
Should I syphon the fuel as well (to be frank I think it might have evaporated)
Also would there be a need to turn the engine, I don't know how to do this manually
?
Thanks in advance

If you left fuel in it it wont have just evaporated, the new fuels go bad unlike the old days and probably rooted fuel lines and pump. Learnt the hard way with mine last year.
If its already starting with whats there and you're getting coughing and stuttering before cutting out after so long probably the fuel also.
Would drop the tank and drain it.

Thanks for the heads up man; I poured fresh fuel in. Everything else looks the goods with regards to fuel lines, hoses, etc.
I had a spare fuel filter laying around so I replaced it aswell.
Deano, yeah that's it mate. Will see how we go aye :P
