Here is a short recording with commentary of my original "Black Beauty" Morris Minor 1953 2 door saloon with original 803cc motor being started for the first time since owning her after she has been sitting for a while. Oil pressure gauge read just on 40 on first cold start.
Looking good!
I just got one going which had been sitting abandoned in a forest for over 10 years. Very easy really - turned it over a few times to get the oil moving, cleaned the points and the carb, set the timing, hotwired it because the key was missing, and it burst into life pretty much straight away. Good old A-series engine. Theres a video on my you tube page.
