Depending how many tanks it has had through it, it will most likely be very tight still. Make sure you heat it well with a hair dryer or paint stripping hot air gun before you start it. This makes it so much easier to start, and is a lot better for the engines internals too. You should heat the motor before you start it whenever possible. And always return it to BDC when you stop it.
Running 25% fuel you can run a medium or hot plug. Ideally, with 25% a medium plug is the most suited (say - O'Donell 97T or RB #6). The GO motors seem to be able to handle a hotter plug, so depending on ambient temps and conditions you may like to try a hot plug (say - O'Donnell 77T or RB #5), the OS P3 UltraHot plug is also used by a lot of the guys. I tend to run the medium plugs on 25% most of the time, and they work very well.
