What do you do to your MT after a day of running?
Really what i'd like to know is what do you do to ensure maximum engine life? Heres what i do.....i disconnect the fuel line from carb and give it a couple cranks to burn off any extra nitro so it doesn't rust....then if i'm not going to run for awhile i'll put some marvel mystery oil in the piston and give it a couple of pulls. Is this what most others do? I know it runs the engine lean for a few seconds but the manuals always says to get gas out of the engine after running....i know of no other way to do it?

i run till my gastank is empty, if i am done durin ghalf a tank, i jus dump it, then run till the engine cuts off. Thats that, unless i dont plan on running for a few days, ill stick some AR oil in it. I'll also spray down most of the truck and body with simple green, get most the junk off and let it sit, I usually dont feel like cleaning it till im bored one night after work.
