    Use a 1/4 tank and read directions for ratio and make a heavy mix.
    Run it 1/2 throttle with OLD PLUG until empty.
    Then put new plug in and fresh fuel and let er rip tater chip.

    Thoughts on fogging OPE cylinders for winter storage in an unheated shed?

    Sure.
    Don’t try to kill it
    Not like pickling a 2 stroke for the winter.
    Is it injected?

    Now you're talking about "Three Dog Nights"... The closet I've been to that was being warned as I began housesitting for my sister years ago, that at two in the morning after the fire goes out in the woodstove... a Siberian Husky, an English Bulldog, and the cat all wanted to get in, up, or on the bed. Yeah, I got up and built a fire for the whiners...

    Just throw some stable in it. Run for a couple of min. Then put it at idle and give her a shot to make it run rough and shut it off at the same time

    What did you end up doing for that weird angled short rail section?
    (Saw your post in the home improvement thread)

    Nothing yet. Working with customer with options.

    I found another brand that had adjustable (45 degree max) angle brackets and a 6' rail package. It's close enough in profile that it'll be hard to notice. The current angles are 55/35 ish. Need some wedge shaped pieces behind the brackets to get to 45/45. I don't like the idea of wasting all that material.

    Also suggested some eye bolts (on back of posts) with tight 1/2" rope spaced every 3" horizontally.

    I'll let them stew on it.
