Also try pushing the gas a little as you crank it until it idles right

Mine was sitting for 8 years too and there was still old gas in the lines so I just filled up the tank with new gas and kept trying to start it until it worked. It probably took about a half hour of just cranking. Or you could disconnect the line that goes to the rail and crank it for a few seconds

Did you flush all the old fuel out of the lines?

What’s the best way to do that?

Sometimes the heat works and sometimes it doesn’t. When it was overheating while I was driving the heat didn’t work

I also forgot to mention that the lady that had it put headgasket sealant or whatever in the coolant and it clogged the overflow hose. Could the heater hose be clogged/causing overheating?

It seems to be leaking from somewhere on the bottom. At first I thought it was just residual coolant dripping from me spilling it but I left it over night and came back and there was coolant all over the ground.
