Turn off the fuel valve and let the engine run until it dies for lack of fuel.</end quote></div>

I must disagree. I recommend keeping fuel in the fuel system. Letting it run dry will remove fuel from the system allowing the seals and gaskets to dry up. This will increase your risk of leaks when it is restarted.

I agree that 3-4 months is not THAT long, Fuel StaBil and a Battery Tender Jr. is all that's really needed.

there is no moisture where im at when mine are stored thru the winter so i dont have to worry about doing any of that and ive tried alot of those idears over the years and found them not to do any better for me. all esle fails go by what the book tells you too and them your be sure for your self.

 

Make sure you definitely put the battery on a trickle charger (such as battery tender) otherwise it will be dead unless you plan on buying a new battery. Batteries lose 1% a day so in 3 months it will be dead. Once it goes dead it will not charge up to 100% anymore. And just put sta-bil in the tank and run it for 10 minutes, anything else for 3 months is overkill, been there done that!

 

Good info guys! I appreciate the help! And thanks for the offer Hoyt! I'm sure you would take good care of it.
