My 6-71 suffers when out of service like all early DD.
The injectors can get stuck. This means perhaps a high throttle start with no way to shut down.
On coaches there is a flap & solenoid to close the intake to the blower , but not
usually on boats.
My WWII full Grey Marine book sez to run the engine on "steam turbine oil" before shutdown.
Any suggestions , I have been thinking of ATF , but perhaps there is a better choice?
HV8 injectors.
