Yah... I don't think storing an engine for just a few months is going to really hurt anything. Sometimes some of my engines are not run for a couple of months or even longer without doing anything special to them. My weed eater and other engines don't get the gas filtered twice before the carburator like my rc engines do. I have been using the Marvel Mystery Oil in my rc engines for storage for several years like mymerc68. I have an old Quadra that I fired up this last summer after sitting for at least 2 years and after getting fuel to the carburator it fired right up. So far I haven't had trouble with the needles or the diaphram like JoeAirPort although I had given thought to the diaphram possible drying out and cracking. That's probably why the one email I had recieved mentioned the disassemble of the card and spraying with silicone. I know after storage drawing fuel up to the carb takes longer at first but after that prime they seem to be okay. In any case so far the worst would be a reasonably easy fix. I think as long as the bearings don't freeze up or the cylinder rust up we are in pretty good shape. Rebuliding the carb could not be the worse thing that could happen although I'm sure no one would look forward to it. In any case my rc engines get far better treatment than my other engines. One other thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the all the tygon fuel tubing should be checked including inside the tank to make sure it is still clamped properly and the tubing is still flexible especially inside the fuel tank to the clunk after storage.
