Message: <blockquote data-quote="kilohertz" data-source="post: 51577" data-attributes="member: 6974">Hi Dan, Zackary,Well, she runs quite well now, certainly enough to put in Seafoam. I came across quite a few mentions of that as well, but thought I would start with the ATF/water as that is what I have here on the farm. I'm heading to town tomorrow and will look for Seafoam. Zackary, no, I wasn't testing it with wide open, in fact, it was right closed at idle. I'll have to check it again tomorrow when cold, then run it and check it hot again. What is the correct way to do it, hot or cold. It's been years since I was doing engine tune ups like this, on my 60's muscle cars. '68 Firebird ragtop, '68 GTO, '68 Mustang FB, '70 Mustang FB etc....;-)As for the oil, I still haven't drained any out to see what it is. Thanks for the comments on the 10W30. It's ceratinly cheaper than Hydraulic when you go to change out 20 gallons of it. I'll decide once I do all the fluid checks.I also need to just run this and get the fuel out of the tank and then flush it a few times to get the last of the water out. Although if I can keep it running and not clog the filter, the water may help burn out the last bit of carbon.Thanks again all. It's nice to have the sucess this easily. looking forward to summer now so I can really use it. It's kinda hard skidding around in compact snow, although my son is having a blast playing in the 7' high pile I made in the last few days of playing with the machine.Paul</blockquote>
