    Awesome! Just picked up a D110 this past summer. Followed this vid and everything worked like a charm. Now it's ready for a long cold winter and should fire right up in the spring. Thanks Jim!

    I keep half tank on gas mixed with recommend amount of Sybil starting tractor every 15 days and let it run for about 15 minutes during winter.

    Never seen the Stabil fogging oil. I have been using the Stabil Ethanol treatment on all my "do not use for winter" vehicles for several years now with good success. Will be removing the mowing deck for a fresh coat of paint, and changing the transaxle oil this winter on my LA115 (just hit 200 hours before putting away this season).

    Good tips! Sta-bil also makes a fuel storage additive that my small engine mechanic recommended. Any opinions on whether that's the same or better than the pre mix?
    My guy recommended I mix two ounces per every five gallons of gasoline and then fill my tank completely full before storing. Been doing that for three years and seems to work good. The year I did t I needed to rebuild my carb. Was all gummed up.

    • @DIYJIM
      @DIYJIM  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I have used Sta-bil also in my gas worked ok. I think if I was going to mix something in my gas I would use sea foam it comes in a white can. That tru fuel I used is perfect mix fuel no ethanol and has stabilizer already in it. You can also buy it at Lowe’s or Home Depot.

    Thank you! I have a 2006 115 model but when I take my filter out I do not see an intake, just the engine exposed, together with other parts. Where exactly do I spray the fogging oil?

    • @DIYJIM
      @DIYJIM  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The fogging oil just keeps your cylinders from rusting while in storage. Thanks for watching

    • @avalchinov
      @avalchinov 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I understand, but you are spraying it into the air intake, and mine has no air intake. Only exposed engine parts. Where should I spray it inside the engine please?

    • @DIYJIM
      @DIYJIM  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It should still suck air in so it will lubricant the inside engine parts so they don’t rust

    • @avalchinov
      @avalchinov 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I see, thank you. I will then spray it into the inside of the engine.

      You have to siphon the gas out or you have to run your engine till it’s gone. Sorry no easy way to drain.

    When I winterized my ski boat and my dad‘s pontoon boat, I always pull the plug and sprayed The fucking oil directly into the cylinder while turning over the engine, I believe the way you’re doing it. You’re mixing the fucking oil in my mind your defeating the purpose of the fogging oil

    This is very time consuming and unnecessary! What I do is add a fuel storage additive to every fuel storage container every time I fill it up with fuel. This accomplishes the same thing without the extra work! Besides I have to use my mower during the winter when tree branches break and have to be sawed removed.
    Not to step on no toes but that’s real old school because my dad told me about that “empty the gas tank method “ when I showed him my method 5 years ago he gave it a try and never looked back!
