Ah, the spring and fall ritual of the changing of the coolant. Not a
good idea to leave 'em emply, as pockets of water can freeze. I use it
as an opportunity to check everything and then after changing the
coolant, warmup the engine and run the carbs dry to prevent them being
gummed up as the gas evaporates ( same after every race).
Trying propylene glycol this year as it is both non-poisonous and a
better antifreeze.

All generalizations, with the possible exception of this one, are false!
