Anti Freeze or no

[reavesga]

My winterizing procedure for 3 years now has been to fire up on muffs and let the motor come up to temperature. While idling, I spray fogger into the carb until she quits. Change the oil, and open the block and manifold drains. Change the drive fluid and leave her down. My question is should I be pouring in AF or not after draining. I have tried to read various threads on winterizing and there appears to be some disagreement on AF or no. Just wondering if anyone has some new thoughts on this.

You have nothing to worry about.

I would say stick with what works. It hasn't failed. The only time I would even consider using AF is if I was running in salt water.

You can do it either way. Makes no significant difference.

Just make SURE you get all the clear water drained. (use a piece of wire to poke in the holes to clear any rust or other debris)
