before starting anything thats been sitting, i always like to pull the spark plugs and put some marvel or engine oil in to lube the walls and valves. I would also, after oiling, turn the engine over by hand a few times.

cleaning the oil pan and pickup screen is a good idea as well.

replace all the fluids and filters, and keep a fire extinguisher handy for the first starts.
