starting up after winter storage

I am starting my 64 after about 4 months of winter storage. I left it with a full tank, including fuel stabilizer. I've read about removing spark plugs and squirting oil into the combustion chambers prior to starting. Is this necessary or is it OK to just start it without any priming?

I don't think you'd cause any damage by just trying to start it and see what happens. If you can't get it to crank, then start pulling parts off and cleaning them. The fuel stabilizer should give you a fighting chance!
