Good morning guys(for a few minutes more anyway). Had a great time riding last night. Last I remember the clock said 4:10. Alarm went off at 6. Honors breakfast at the middle school at 7 then off to the FIL's house then to Red Wing.

I don't put any oil in the cylinder, but I keep mine in a shed. If outside where more prone to moisture it probably not a bad idea. The gas I put sea foam in it before I put it away and run it around to make sure it is in the fuel system good. So far every year when I check them they are clean. There is another product called startron that I might try.

Correct. Actually thinking I should get a hitch that pivots side to side too. The one I have is only front to back.
