Gee whiz....

All the holy Wars over "to after run or not" is nerve-wracking.

If you don't care if your engine rots...neither do I.

For the rest....

At the end of a flying season....

Remove your engine from the model.

Remove the carburetor, back plate and glow plug. (Valve cover if applicable)

If there are plastic parts/pumps that remain...remove them or DISREGARD the following.

* Submerge the engine in KEROSENE (not gasoline) and turn it over a few times to circulate the kero throughout the insides.

* Remove the engine...shake out the excess kero and wipe the engine gently with a paper towel.

* Reasssmble, and place the engine in a sealed plastic bag.

* Your engine is now thoroughly purged of moisture and fuel residue, is coated completely with a thin oil, and is ready for the next flying season...whether that is next year, or 10 years from now.
