Another thing I avoid is disturbing the piston/sleeve. Those parts wear into a fit, and it is runs right and starts like it should, I don't want to mess up that fit.
kdheath,
That is a good point, I wasn't thinking of that, it is probably best to not mess with the sleeve/piston for that reason alone, unless it is absolutely necessary. I guess just removing the back plate, glow plug, muffler, and maybe the carb would be the most ever needed for cleaning/storage prep. Thanks...
