greetings from Gatineau, QC

[r0k0]

Hey all, im Roch I live in gatineau, quebec..

Found a 1985 760 turbo diesel d24t just sitting in a driveway for the past 12 years, asked the owner if he wanted to sell it and he's thinking about it

So car wont start but cranks, took old filter off and replace with new fuel, used starting fluid and just read that I am not supposed to so I threw it in the garbage today

I am joy expecting it ti run and drive but I would like to hear it run even if its a minute or so

Any clue what I could do to run it before buying it ?
