Dave, I use OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) fuel conditioner in the gas and run through the carb of my boat before I put it away for the winter. After I run it for 10-15 min, I spray fogging oil into the intake on the carb (while it's running) until it smokes real heavy out the exhaust and then shut it down. I think this coats everything in the engine over the winter. Like the other folks said I would take care and charge the battery every couple weeks to keep it up to full charge. I have never had any gum problems with engines using the OMC fuel conditioner. Good luck, Mark R. : Winter is fast approaching..for a gas tractor should the gas tank be drained and run the engine til the carb is dry or do the gas stabilizer products I've heard of work? (tractor will not be used til spring) any other tips for winterizing??dave
