I agree with Outback. Keep things full with stabilizer in them in the off season. This keeps sludge from happening and less amounts of condinsation happening. I always do this and live with the outcome. Plus with running non oxy fuel in these tools is about the best a person can do. Know that rebuilding carbs will need done after a few years and plan ahead.
I dont play in water. Lakes and boats are beyond me. Ive just never live by a body of water besides the ocean but never really played there either. So boats are just not my thing. Ive been on a couple and have enjoyed it but its not my thing.
I think Mike T. Is right. All the issues that we live with now, that we didnt have years ago, are from goverment making things better.
