Default YS Engine afterrun oil?

Dave,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I just did a test run on my engine and pinched the input fuel line to let the engine run dry. That was pretty straight forward -- I then disconnected the fuel line to keep it dry.

I'm still concerned with the possibility of bearing corrosion. I might be part of the 10% of users that will use after-run oil; on the other hand, if just running it dry is sufficient I like the easy way. Are the bearings sealed and therefore just not as vulnerable? If I did use after-run oil how would I apply it? Where and how much? Perhaps this would be done if there were longer layovers, say several months. Also, do you have a FAQ page somewhere that has this kind of information?

Thanks again for your support...

Rob
