RE: Carbs gumming up problem and question
Looks like finner is faster on the keyboard. I do the 2 things he said and then change out the lower unit gear oil. I turn over the engine a couple of times to get all the water out of the pump and then tilt the motor down and cover the engine and prop with a large plastic bag and a tarp. I pull the electroncs and I put on the cover and make sure there are no low spots that can collect water and ice. I pull the drain plug and I then jack the trailer up and put it on blocks to keep the weight off the tires. Good to go until the spring.
