This one took a battery, R&R of a seized starter, a little starting fluid on 7y/o fuel and it hadn't been run in 7years, ... didn't even have an oil cap on the cam cover or an engine cover. Isuzu diesel. Diesels are easy as these old beasts are mechanical: suck-squish-squirt-boom-go. Not much changes if it isn't seized and the fuel is reasonably good.

(when I bought R2, and today)
