Tim:
I can't speak for that particular engine, but here is some general advice: To prevent gum forming in your carburetor, close the fuel valve and run the engine until it dies from fuel starvation just before pulling out of the water the last time of the season. Most, maybe all, outboards are self draining if you leave them vertical for a few minutes. One gotcha is the prop. With the O/B tilted up during the winter, rain can collect in the prop hub, freeze and crack the hub. Store the O/B with it tilted near vertical to prevent this. Another thing to do is to remove all spark plugs and crank through the engine while spraying WD40 in the plug hole. This will coat the cylinder walls and prevent rust over the winter. That is about it for winter storage. David |
