motor oil into the openings. Replace plugs, hand tight. Turn engine over by
hand. If you have trouble starting in the spring it is probably because too
much oil is on the plugs. Remove them and wipe them clean. If you can
get to the boat during the winter you may wish to turn the engine over to get
some oil onto the piston walls.</EM></SPAN></FONT></LI>
