Ned,
Just a little note to lead you to the proper way to store an engine---

And Stan was correct--either blow some marvel into the intake until the
engine flood's out to lubrictate the cylinder's and upper end--until you
take it out of storage---  or pull each and every plug, and squirt some
oil into the cylinder's to keep the rings, and cylinder's from rusting
up---

I fog my boat every year with marvel--until I flood the engine with the
stuff, and it dies , from over loading it with the Marvel--shut it off
and leave it, until you want to use it again--it'll smoke like all hell,
when you want to go again, but it is the best, and fastest protection,
you can give a stored engine---

Later,

            ______________
