running out of fuel on a 2 stroke

[ross_larter]

I am just starting to think about winterizing my mariner 1996 60hp 2/s (3 carbs) oil injected.<br /><br />Some people say to remove the fuel line when the engine is running and let it stall, other say you should never do this on a 2 stroke, but if it is oil injected would it still be getting oil while it is running out of fuel so still be protected?<br />or should i spray fogging oil in the carbs as it stalls or something.<br /><br />What do you all think?<br /><br />Cheers<br />Ross

If you put fuel stabalizer in the fuel...it should be ok. You will not have to drain the carbs in any fashion.<br /><br />I have a winterization outline on my site.<br /><br />www.ronsmarineltd.com<br /><br />its on the right side under tips. You can have a look there.<br /><br />TMD
