[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 291962, member: 4468"] since my motor was new in 1980(25hp johnson) all thats been done to it for winter is running it out of gas completely, drain and fill lower unit gear oil and a couple drops of oil in each cylinder and turn the flywheel a couple times. its my opinion that gas should never be left in the carb or fuel lines because the ethanol in todays gas is not good for fuel lines. every time i take mine out i pull the fuel line before i get to the dock so it runs itself out of gas while i back the trailer down to load it. and i would put new plugs in it before first spring trip. ive never fogged my motor but i think i will try it this spring just to see what happens.
