Oil change was the first thing I did then I drained and refilled the
radiator.  Once it's running I'll do a proper cooling system flush.

It would be a shame to throw away 16-17 gals of gas (I wouldn't know where
to dispose of it anyway), but if it won't fire up I'd like to eliminate bad
fuel as a suspect.  I will try and fire it up with the old gas first.

Thanks, Al.
