The cooling system should l>e drained and flushed in engines that ore water cooled. The drain plugs should he left open. Also, the gas tank should he drained, along with the lines anti carburetor to prevent the forma tion of a gummy or varnish-like substance that will clog the fuel system. Ferguson suggests leav ing the lines open for a few days then closing them to keep out dust and trash. Spark plugs should be removed anti one-fourth or one-half cup of gotni SAK 150 motor oil put into each cylinder Inieel ns may lie removed on diesel engines to pur the oil in After replacing the -park plugs, tlu* engine should he ini nod several times to dis tribute the oil on cylinder walls, rings and valves. (>n overhead valve engine, the valve cover should be i-emoved. Flush valves and rocker arms with SAE ."Vi motor oil. The storage battery requires attention, t«»o. It should lie re mo\ed, cleaned and stored in a dry pla«e The battery .should be fully charged to prevent freeze or damage.
