Opel GT First Start in 30 years.

Will it Run? First of the 1970 Opel GT in about 30 years. After a Carburetor change, new points, new plugs, will the barn find Opel come back to life?

Great video! Thanks for posting it.
I learned a trick for engines that have not ran for forever and a day several years ago, when I was rescuing barn bikes. Figure out how much oil the engine takes, then put in the cheapest oil and oil filter you can get (you will be changing it soon/very soon) Pour in all but half a quart, and fill in the last half quart with Marvel Mystery Oil. Then start the engine and let it run for at least an hour out doors. This gives the engine a chance to warm up, and piston rings a helping hand in case they rusted/corroded and release themselves. Then just drain the oil and if your happy, change filter and oil to what you wish to use. If not rinse and repeat. I did that the first time on an 86 GL1200 Goldwing with a seized engine. The only difference was I filled the cylinders with WD40 and put a block heater on the head for 24 hours to break it loose first. Once I got it turning over and removed the WD40 from the cylinders, I ran the bike through 3 changes like that. I kept that bike and went every where for 4 years.
Just my 2 cent suggestion though.
