Re: Storage

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxx>]

I have stored mine for nearly a year before but I filled the fuel 
tank to nearly full - I wanted the fuel just below the boot - put in 
good helping of Marvel Mystery Oil, ran the engine for a while hot 
to be sure the oil circulated throughout. I disconnected the battery 
and put on the cover and closed the garage door. Nine months later, 
connected the battery, turned on the key, started it up and drove 
it - I did flat spot the tires. No other problems though.
