Lynn,
Since you're in a talkative mood....
I'm almost ready to fire up my 13B for the first time. It was rebuilt and
internally greased to keep it good. For the past 4 years it's been on my
patio exposed to the Florida humidity with the holes plugged.... most of the
time. It makes a nice sucking & blowing sound when turned by hand.

Anything else you'd suggest before the first run? Flush out the oil / water
galleries? What with? How do you check that there's cooland flow? remove a
hose?

>  But, I run on again.
Feel free.

Regards,
John Slade
