Possibly..

Drain the fuel out, you should never leave fuel in a chainsaw nevermind a car for 7 months:headhurt:

I left next to no fuel in it range said 0 miles to empty... Should have mentioned.

Bit of 95ron was put in with fuel can to move it out of storage by a mate a few weeks before I got back

Thanks

What he said

You could also try getting some decent fresh fuel in it and try again.
