thanks Bill

it's sat for 5 years because we use the Cherokee as the daily driver and
the Cj was there for emergencies. Well we never had one and I kinda forgot
all about my good practice to start the Cj5 every week So there we are my
hidden secret happy now :-) Thanks for the advice.

I would also turn it over either by hand or with the coil disconnected
to ------ some of that oil you just pumped to get the bearing coated
really well before letting it fire up. On farm equipment, we usually
put a few spoonfuls of oil in the cylinders as well before turning it
over since you won't have any splash/pressure to really fill the oil
ring to lube the cylinders. I would also bet on a gummed up carb -
it's amazing how much varnish can form from just the gas left sitting
in the float bowl.
