When I bought my H about 15 years ago it had sat outside and not run for about 10 years but I knew the owner and he had kept the exhaust covered and turned over the engine once in a while. I think I was a bit lucky as it didn't take a lot to get it going. I just needed to get it to run long enough to load it on a truck. I checked the oil and the radiator. It had a distributor and I had to put in a new battery. The points had rusted shut so I put in new points, condenser, cap and rotor. A couple of gallons of new gas and some cranking and it started with a shower of rust from the exhaust. It ran pretty darn well considering most of the gas in the tank was 10 years old. Hope yours goes as well.
