Hal, Been there n had to do that. Heres my advice n experience for whats best: Lots of Sta-Bill gas stabilizer in the tank plus some low ash 2 cycle marine oil,,,,, ,let her run a while with that in the tank so it gets inside the carb,,,,, ,turn the gas off n let her run till she dies n drain any left over from a carb bowls bottom drain cock plug etc. (assuming gas engine of course) Coffee cans etc over any exhaust pipes Yes I like some sort of cover buttttt ttttt NOT a tight fitting cant breathe n draw condensation heavy tarp. I like those nylon water shedding breatheable car cover thingys ANDDDDD D I like to use them more as a dust n rain shield versus a tight sealed fit. Things like distributors I spray with WD 40 and I squirt oil over exposed linkages n hinge points n other moveable things for rust protection. You may wanna remove the battery n keep it stored in a garage n maybe put a trickle charger on it now n then Probably wouldnt hurt to spray some armor all type protectant over her just for good measure, in the spring give her a good wash n clean up. Im unsure if moth balls or other types of rodent type deterrent or home remedies or old wives tales stuff might be stuffed under the dash to keep mice n critters from building nests n eating wires??? Ask an Old Wife lol John T
