works. Next season should be a lot easier.

By the way, I spent some time draining my fuel lines to the outboard and inline
filter of residual gasoline. I think that is one place where gas can go bad over
the
winter and screw things up the next season.


Sherwin,
You are correct that the old gas can cause real problems in the spring
time, but you really want to fill the tank with gas to reduce
condensation and add Fuel Stabilzer to the gas prior to pumping the gas
in. Then run the engine for 10 minutes to make sure you have the fuel
stabilizer in the filter and carbs/injectors.

After 10 min. fog the engine to prevent rust in the cylinders.
If this is a 4 stroke, while the engie is still warm, you will then want
to change the oil and filter. Boat/US used to have a nice write up on
how to winterize your boat and both I/O and OB engines.
