Default RE: engine clean up after a flight

I leave it. Even after several years of use, they still look fine ... just a little baked on crud on the muffler, but no big deal. Any grass or dirt from a less than perfect landing just wipes off with a rag when I'm wiping down the plane.

If you really get stuff in the carburator, you really should disassemble the engine to clean it out before running it again.
