Default RE: Engine Storage-A better Way??

ORIGINAL: Flyboy Dave
I'll flush the crankcase with a few ozs. of kerosine and Marvel oil 50/50. Then I
flush the carb with rubbing alcohol to remove the castor...
Ummm, is this the correct order? Shouldn't the alcohol be first and the oil last? I realize carb bodies are frequently aluminum, but I've seen steel barrels and needles, which can and do rust. I would want to be sure the alcohol was completely gone, and everything covered with oil, before storing the engine.
