if it was me I would get a cheap 12v fuel pump and get all the old fuel out and put fresh but thats me and change the oil and disconnect the coil and crank it over a couple times to get the oil thru the engine

in a perfect world get some new gas in it, new oil, as stated above crank it a few times without the ign on, disconnect drive line, hook it up to a hose, start it and then slowly turn the hose on, not full blast.  let it run for a while... preferably at like 5am on sunday.  your neighbors will thank you. truuust me.

I have let gas sit for up to 4 months no problem but once you get to the 5-6 and up it starts to go.
