Put in 5 gallons of fresh premium, charge the battery, add a full
bottle of RedLine or Shell Tekron injector cleaner (the others don't
work as well) and jumper the fuel pump relay for an hour or so. This
will flush the fuel distributor and the lines of the slime from the
dead gas (mostly detergent and other additives, the gasoline is long
gone).
Then try to start it. Probably run like crud for a while until the
fresh gas gets all the way down the injector lines. Once it runs
fairly well, drive it to the gas station and fill it up. Should be
OK unless the fuel distributor diaphragm has acquired corrosion holes
and it floods out. That is the main reason you should never let a K-
Jet sit with dead gas in it, it often kills the fuel distribultor.
