winterizing carburated bike
This question is actually about my son's v star 1100 but I figure this is a good place to get answers.
When you winterize a carburated bike do you shut off the fuel petcock and let the motor run till it dies (like I used to do with my 2-cycle Mecury boat motor)? Or do you just fill it with gas to minimize condensation, use something like Stabil fuel stablizer, and let the bike run for a while to distribute the stablizer throughout the carbs? If you let the carbs run dry do you put some oil in the gas to protect the engine while it is running dry and so it will coat the metal parts? Or do you just go out and start it every couple of weeks to keep things stirred up? Login or Register to Remove Ads |
