Sounds like you have most of the bases covered! If you turn off the gas and let the carb run dry it can help keep gum from forming and I came up with a slick trick for the exhaust. I took my rain caps off and cut the top off an alum pop can. It slides right down over the exhaust pipe and fits snug. You don"t have to pull it off when starting either. Just fire it up and the can will shoot straight up. I like to spray down my manifolds with a light spray oil to help keep the winter rust at bay. It will burn off harmlessly when you fire it up next time. It may also be a good idea to take the batterys out and put them in a warm corner of the garage or basement. Might help them last a bit longer. I also like to brush snow off stuff so condensation is less likely to form when the days get above freezing. Things like sheet metal, gas tanks, and trans covers. That snow can keep the metal cold longer and things can get saturated in warmer air. I plan on tarping mine this winter, and I put an old sheet on the paint so it won"t get rubbed by the tarp in the wind. I tarp over rear tires so air can circulate under it. Hope these things help.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
