Id just check there is oil in it, give the accelerator a pump or 3 and then hit the key. :D
Doesn't mean that is the best way of doing it... it's just what I'd do.

have you got a crank handle for it? probably a good idea to crank it over by hand a few times to loosen everything up.
Id just take the fuel line off the carby, hand prime at least a liter out of the fuel system and then chuck in half a liter of metho, 20l of fresh fuel, put the line back on, prime the carby and kick er over. 8 months is but a drop in the ocean of time to old shcool landies if they havent been left to drink rainwater or eat dust.
