Starting engine, 12 years since run

I have dun this many time and it is a good move and keep junk from getting in your carb, just make sure to have it a few feet away from the engine bay , I would pore 1/2 a quart of trans fluid down the carb and let it lub up and clear the valves a bit and bump it over after 1 minute to open the other intake valves to let the fluid get to your rings if they are stuck and most likely are.. wait about 15 minutes and fire her up..
