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.

Zach Zach, Best luck I have had was to run out of gas.. This sucks all the fuel out of the bowls in the carbs and gets them dry. Otherwise you start building up a bunch of laquer in the carb bowls...might take two or three years...but it eventually requires full rebuilds. the 356 has a nice shutoff valve...so I just get it warm turn off the fuel and wait a few minutes till it stalls...all done for the season.
