Greg has hit all the items to fire it up. I just started a 444 that sat for 6 years under a carport. We put a fresh 6-volt Battery in, checked points for fire, turned over w/ starter 8-10 times, plugged in coil, poured 4 oz. gas into single downdraft carb and it fired on the 6th revolution. Drove it 15 minutes later.

Fresh Gas: Here' the trick on this. We sat a 2 gallon can on left fender, w/bungee ( for no-spill)and removed the "IN" hose to stock fuel pump and stuck in gas can. Stock pump was OK, or I would have had to use my 12V electric pump on 2nd battery. You will need to steam clean that stock gas tank. Look at Fifth AvenueGarage.com for a professional tank coating liquid and DIY instructions. Cost about 40$....professionally here is about 300$.

Never had a Volvo that would not fire off. Regards, Kayo in Sunny FLA
