Johnson 1973 115HP Winterize it?

[flykr2s]

I am in Wisconsin and this is my first winter here with this motor. I am wondering what needs to be done to winterize it for outdoor storage.

I Change lower unit grease. Top off gas tank and use stabil. Clean carbs and run "engine tuner" through mine(burns carbon out of motor).<br />Spray fogging oil in to carbs with motor running. <br />Leave the carbs full of stabilized fuel.<br />Fog the cylinders with fogging oil. Clean or replace plugs (check gap).<br />Check for worn/loose parts, broken wires.<br />Check condition of Prop and skeg.<br />Spray the starter pinion with WD-40 (or similar)<br />Wash and Wax outside then cover it.<br />Remember the shops are full of people wanting parts and props reworked in the spring.

hi, ISkiH2O<br /><br />How have you cleaned the carburetor?<br /><br />have you had to disassemble, adjust and linkage it?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Fernando
