Recommendations On How To Put Your Engine To
Bed For The Winter
First and foremost---if you are not storing your engine/car in a garage that is heated 100% of the time you need to get all the water out or install antifreeze in the system NOW.
We recommend putting at least a gallon of antifreeze in anyway.
Next
Disconnect the feed line to your fuel pump and run a hose from the pickup side of the pump into a fuel jug with quality gasoline (AV gas or 93 octane pump gas) it is also recommended to mix 2 stroke oil into this gas--(if pump gas is used use a heavier mix of 2 stroke oil)
Placing the fuel jug into a safe location away from headers
Then warm the engine up to operating temperature
After the engine is warm begin drizzling straight 30 wt. motor oil down the carb at a high idle (1300 to 1500)
Once the garage becomes filled with smoke increase the stream of oil and choke the engine out with oil.
Next take several oil soaked rags and stuff them into the ends of the headers.
If you want added security remove the rocker arms so all the valve springs will be relaxed
If you used a mixture of two stroke gasoline for your fogging process and made sure the secondary side of the carb was also flowing fuel during fogging then there is no need to do any further carburetor bedding but some like to remove the carb drain and fill with wd40.
When wakening up the engine remove the spark plugs and spin the engine over a time or two to release any excess oil then prime the oil system reinstall the same plugs to initially fire the engine
You will need to change spark plugs after you warm it up and clear the winter oil away
This process does not take long and will help to insure your engine will wake up the same way it went to bed
