Does the starter ingauge? I fired mine up yesterday after a similar time period and I had to remove the starter, lube it up, and manually free the little pinion gear because it had rusted and froze to shaft. Additionally, I put a wrench on the main pulley and rotated it by hand a couple times first. Still nothing...even with at 75amp charger/started attached...Then I replaced the battery...and finally...vavroomm....now I'm just trying to figure out why its so sluggish after the wait...
