Eh. I put Stabil in the tank, went for a spin and then parked it and siphoned all the gas out of the tank and burned it up in my daily. In the spring I'll probably have to clean my idle jets and pull the stacks and clean them. But other then that, it won't see the world outside my garage until spring.
