Default Re: Winterizing the gas tank

I have been using Mystery oil for years!! I put in a squirt bottle and squirt it into the carbs while they are running, wa\hat a cloud this makes!! :o
If I am going to leave something for a long long time I will also take the pluges out fill with the oil and then give the motor a quick crank with out starting.

I add stabil to the tanks just beforew my last trip of the year. this way it gets all thur the lines and all. Then i can just top off the tanks add a bit more with out having to let the motor run.

I also remove the steering cable from to motor tube and grease it and bag it and leave it out all winter. This way it will never get stuck in the tube!!
I am lucky that I have a bracket cause I no all cables on the V20 can not come out with out removing the motor! :-/ In this case grease the crap out of it and make sure that the motor is turned so that the sterring shaft is all the way inside the tube so it is not exposed to the weather.
