If its been sitting for as long as you say it has, the rings have probably bonded to the pistons, normal for a A series engine, run the engine for a couple of hours the rings may unfrezze then selves from the pistons, giving it a oil change wouldn't hurt either.

I'd try replacing the valve seals as well. When I got my Traveller it had been sitting for years and it smoked like a b@$t@rd. I had some valve seals so I threw them on and smoking cleared right up. Worth a shot pretty cheap and easy.

I rescued my MiniMatic from a garden where it had sat for 8 years.
After I got it going and gave it an oilchange or 2 it was fine, and used hardly any oil. :D

I suppose one solution is drive the bleeding thing and not let it sit there all sad and neglected for so long. Even if you just start it once in a while and show some attention would be a nice idea methinx.
