LOL...my FP40 has been sitting since 1996, I just pulled it out. She was very dirty (burned varnish from fuel etc), and froze solid, couldn't even operate the carb. Soaked it in gas/2cycle oil mix, cleaned it off and it was still froze. Put it in a pan of water and boiled it for 10 minuets, she's freed up. Now the big part....clean it all back up spotless and get a new glow plug for it. It's a winter project, so no rush here. I had a supratiger .40...what a pile. This OS FP-40 always started easily and never quit in flight (on take off or landings). Been sitting for 11years, I think it'll still be fine. Found out they're obsolete for crying out loud. A simple, reliable, and inexpensive motor (all around great little motor), and they don't make them any more.
