[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 58324, member: 7905"] The seller provided a roll-back flatbed tow truck so after I put on some decent wheels/tires we pulled it on with the winch. Got it out to my property and dropped it off easily. I started by vacuuming out three buckets of leaf litter and dirt from the drivers compartment and engine bay. I noted that the fuel lines are toast. First priority was to get the crank turned over by hand. I pulled the plugs, loosened up the oil cooler and moved aside so I could get a pry bar down by the u-joint. I put a little fresh engine oil in the cylinders (per service manual) and started moving the crank with the bar on the cooling fins. Just a little resistance in the beginning but it smoothed out nicely after a couple of turns. Enough that I was able to turn the crank with my hand. I lubed the u-joint while it was exposed and also degreased and cleaned the oil cooler. I then put in a fully charged battery and tried to turn the engine over. After several attempts with the starter just clicking - it then just made a wirling noise so I figured the solenoid was gone. This morning I dropped the starter off for re-build and got some 1/4" fuel hose, splices, clamps and in-line filter. The fuel pump may be bad but I'll know for sure when I get the hoses on. Did these 700 series machines all come with electric fuel pumps? [/QUOTE]
