Is there going to be any problems with not starting the engine for a year. Is there anything i can do to make sure everything is lube up and ready to mess up. I'm just worried that i might spin a bearing with an engine that hasnt been running for one year because the crank might not be lube up with oil. Or is the engine is going to be fine?

 

you can un-plug the dizzy and crank it over a few times too let everything get lubed before you fire it up. as long as no water or anything got into the motor you will be fine.

 

it'll be fine 99.9%

if you wanna be ---- drain the oil and fill it with new oil and replace the filter and add some prolong?

 

worst thing i can think of would be the fuel bein all gummed up. also get an oil change sometime soon after you start it.

 

I wouldn't say gummed up, but possibly just bad gas.

I would drain the oil, throw some fresh stuff in there (the thick stuff) and disconnect the dizzy. Crank it over a few times til oil pressure builds up, then let her rip.

 

whats the difference? between cranking it and just starting it lol??

the proper way to prime an engine is to turn the oil pump with a power tool

 

1. i dont think starters rotate the engine faster then the actual idle speed do they?
2. Less thrusting forces due to no combustion, just spinning the rotating assembly.
3. every spun an assembeled HONDA engine w/ a power tool? :P

 

yes on the crank pulley bolt. but that would be just the same as spinning the motor with the starter. im talking about spinning the oil pump its kinda hard to prime the oil pump on a honda I4 though :-p
