The thread about the 10 hp diesel engine on a splitter got me thinking.
What do you do to winterize your small engines for the winter sit?
I only ask because we used to drain ours, run stabil in them, drain and repolace the oil and every year we had problems. I took on a business in conjunction with my full time job and reallly cut my available time down. For 6 years now I do not drain anything run stabil in nothing and change the oil when it is time.
That said, when I drained and changed I always had engine problems, always tinkering and messing with stuff,,,
After I quit doing all that my stuff starts fine.
I had a push mower that my wife left behind one shop, I bought the 0 turn that year and the push mower sat there for over a year rain, snow sun,,, Started on the second pull when we gave it to our neighbor to use. My truck compressor is out in the weather all the time,,, fires up first or second pull????
Shouldint it have been exactly backwards?
