Message We pulled the plugs and poured some penetrating oil in each cylinder to free up the rings in case they had bound up. I did a 120k service, plugs, flushed the coolant and drained the tank. The gas in it had covered the fuel pump in a gooey varnish and t pump would not turn, so we installed a walbro 255 that we had sitting around. Changed the oil and it fired right up. We treated it with injector cleaner and a few tanks of fresh 91 and you can stand on the go pedal all you want.
It is good that you were running yours occasionally. I'd perform a 60k service (or 120k) and see how it runs. The steering rack can be rebuilt to save some money if you are mechanically inclined.

Good luck!
