go to princess auto or cantire and buy some engine store spray , I think CRL makes it , pull your plugs and spray down the cylinders. use a breaker bar to spin it over , spray it down the carb ,,,REPEAT. it leaves a oily residue on the cylinder walls.
take a tupperware container that will fit over the carb, punch a hole in the middle, silicone the crap out of the hole and put the wing nut back on. if no carb, cut a plastic flat piece, silicone and bolt to the intake..SEAL IT UP !
drain the oil / water out of the engine,, add 5 liters of fresh oil to give the bearings a chance of surviving.
be a waste to lose that old engine...
now go trick or treat your neighbour LOL!!
