I got into this discussion late, but here are the
things I have always done with the cars and boats I own
that sometime sit for months before I get back to
them. It is the same for all gas motors.
1. Go to
your lacal Marine supply store, and buy a can of
'engine fogger'. The instructions are ussually start
motor and run till warm. Then open the thottle to above
idle 1500-2000 rpm. Then spray the fogger in until the
engine dies.
2. Put STA-BIL into a full tank.
STA-BIL works for about 3 months so you will have to add
it in.
3. For the oil, I use a 15-50 Mobil
Synthetic, and Rislone. I always run the engine at least 30
mins before a shutdown. When a start the engine, I
first diconnect the ingnition and crake the engine for
2-3 seconds, rest the starter, and repeat for about
10 cycles. Re-connect the ignition, and almost
without fail, everything is cherry. Note: You should also
use a good marine style trickle charger that cycles
the battery prorperly. It should be the type that
states it will prohibit sulfidation of the plates. Work
in my 2 boats, and my 5 cars. Hope this
helps.
