General Question - Older units not ran for awhile

[Okybrian]

2004 RPX and 2003 GTX
These two have not run in more than four years but are very clean, and the engine and hoses look very good. Besides changing plugs, draining and changing all the fluids and getting a new battery, what else do I need to before I crank'em up? Do I run Seafoam through them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

No, seafoam will not help anything especially in a 2-stroke.

Best bet is drain any old fuel and put in fresh. New battery and plugs are never a bad idea.

I might spray some fogging oil or poor a cap full of 2-stroke oil down each spark plug hole and turn it over by hand prior to trying to light them off so they aren’t totally dry upon starting for the first time after sitting so long.
