i got some after run oil for my new engine as i want to keep it in best condition. and stop internal rust. am i right in saying after each day of running i pinch the fuel line. burn all the exess fuel in the engine. put a few drops down the carb and a few drops down the glow plug hole and give it 5pulls on the starter?

Yep that is pretty much it and I use after run oil in all my engines and all ways have. If nothing else it is just CHEAP insurance. I have some engines that are 5 or better years old and run great.

The fuel we run in these engines is mostly methanol and is very hygroscopic! Watch any racer that runs fuels with methanol in it and the purge the engine after every day of racing!
