I used to do it that way but never again,,,, I fog the motor and let them sit for the summer. When you start them, you have to get them up to operating temp to try to get any condensation out of them. If you dont, then youve made the problem even bigger. I do stabilize the fuel, but I fog the motor, pull the clutches and clean them, grease it, check carbides and hyfax, empty chaincase inspect then refill it with new oil, check track and studs, check all bolts to make sure they are tight then put it on a stand that keeps the entire sled off the ground and loosen the track. At least thats how I do it. I figure I am missing a step or two, but those are the basics.

Drain gas tank, drain carbs, blow fuel out of lines spray wd-40 over
everything, remove belt, loosen track jack up rear of sled then
leave her alone till fall.
