I'm about ready to start her up after being stored for 10+ years. Fuel system and carbs are clean and ready. Brakes and master cyl have been rebuilt. Cooling system is clean.
I'm looking for help on what precautions should be taken on motor oil. Should I use an oil aditive? Detergent or non-detergent oil?
What about gas... everything in Wisconsin has 10% ethanol... is an aditive a good idea here? What type?
Also, what is recommended for coolant... straight antifreeze or a water mix? What brand is best?
The master cyl and wheel cyl's are new. I'm told to flush the entire system with denatured alcohol and blow it out with compressed air, then use a DOT 5 synthetic brake fluid. Any thoughts?
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Moe Morin
