hickey Wrench Fetcher H Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 10 rhode island	Does anyone have suggestions for starting up a 1954 5700 COE, with 235 engine that has been sitting outside for two years in New England? What is the best way to drain and flush the gas tank? Should I remove the spark plugs, drop some Marvel Mystery Oil and crank it over a few times? Any suggestions will be appreciated Last edited by hickey; 12/08/2016 6:57 PM.
