Stihl 500i long term storage

[ZeroJunk]

The title of this thread includes 'long term storage'. You believe a few months over winter is long term? I don't and I don't think most people would.

I won't even waste my time replying in depth to the other statements because you have no idea what I do, and that's blatantly clear. Because you're wrong on both accounts.

What I think is that you work on a few odds and ends. I repair thirty or forty pieces of equipment a week in season. And, I have posted photos of what was waiting and what was repaired and posted them on this site.

If you think running all the fuel out is even possible, go for it. If it works for you I am happy for you.
