I had hell trying to get it started.

I reckon 2-3 years of not running when I bought it late Feb, I think its been cranked over by me for 3-4 min all up. I did crank it for a minute with the fuel relay removed to get the oil circulating first.
This is what the brake rotors look like as a way of telling how long its sat unused ( 270k on the speedo)

They need to be adjusted correctly, but the trim codes don't matter for this purpose... They are trim codes after all.
