Different people do it differently. Pull the plugs, and remove high-
tension lead from the coil to the dizzy. Shouldn't have to stop the
fuel feed; you aren't gonna' crank it that much, and in any case, (a)
the float bowls already have fuel in them, and (2) the floats in the
float bowls will stop thrm from filling any further than they're
suppose to anyway (assuming the floats work, of course). Also make
sure the valves are properly adjusted. Make sure the tranny is in
NEUTRAL and the battery is charged.
