Thank you for the video. Great info. One thing I would suggest personally, is not to use those cheap plastic fuel shut off valves. It will fail within one or 2 seasons. If you look closely at it, there is a no-gasoline stamp on it. They can leak quite easily. Scag makes a good metal one with a ball joint shut off. Only about 8 bucks on Amazon. Just as easy to install, much better quality.

Definitely good pointers thanks a lot

Thank you!

It is okay to use Stabil stabilizer for daily fuel refills for the X380? Also, should I use the Stabil Storage or the 360 one?

Lube the cylinders

Recommend using stainless steel clamps from a marine source.
The "stainless steel" from many/most automotive and big box stores is of a lower quality and will potentially rust.

Thank you for yet another great instructional video. Do you recommend, as part of the winterizing process, that the engine cylinders (I have a JD X350) be fogged with oil using a fogging spray?

[@paulattanasio3061]

Does it matter if it’s before or after the fuel filter? I was always told to put the shutoff between the tank and the filter, not after the filter.

[@247parts]

If between the tank and filter is an option then that would be a good idea.

What else do I need to do to my Z320R for the winter storage?

[@247parts]

Other than this I would maybe do a full service and definitely find a battery maintainer to put on it for the winter.
