Yes, this was a really good suggestion. Once it starts and is
driveable, take it out and get it well warmed up and change the oil
again.

Don't even consider the "good" German stuff. It's not good any more.
Buy regular US 5/16 fuel hose. Don't buy the special FI fuel line, as
it's much more expensive and is made for much higher pressures than
our cars have. If you can't find good stuff locally, I have it.
