RE: New to the forum with question
I had a K&B 61 that was used for a season in 1986 and then lived in a box until this past November. I also had no idea it was going to go into such a long hiatus (24 years) so there were no "long-term storage preparations" made. When I did get it out it was pretty well frozen up solid from the castor turning to varnish. Opened up the back end and everything looked good; no rust, so I stuck it in the oven at 200 for about 20 minutes, then took it out, bolted up a prop and turned it through for a minute or so with a little raw fuel poured into the back, into the head through the plug hole, and into the carb. once it was turning freely, reassembled the rear cover, bolted it up to the test stand and it fired up and tuned up just fine.
