[AT] JD PowrTrol Purge

[Spencer Yost]

Solvent or kerosene is the flushing agent. Then simply operate the starter with the ignition switch off to pump the solvent or kerosene through all the lines.

This is for a touch-o-matic  system. I imagine it’s not any different for the power-trol.

We got a lot out when the old hoses came off, and I pushed as much as I could out of the cylinder, and I drained as much as I could out of the PowrTrol unit at the lower plug.  I am stymied on doing a complete purge, however.
