Here are a few tips: 1. Put 1 teaspoon mixing oil on each piston. Unscrew spark plug and just drop the oil in the hole. Before you put back the plugs start the engine a few strokes so the oil goes all over. 2. Lift the back of your sled on a piece of wood or... to loosen the suspension springs. 3. If you live in the country put steel wool in the exaust pipe. (one summer, a mouse had the good idea to nest in one of my cylinders, so imagine what happened....!) 4. Have a good summer and plan next years season. Jean Bouchard
