This info carries over to other things as well. I kept my new lawn tractor under my new back deck since last fall. I took it in for service and they said the corrosion was overwhelming how much there was. It reuined the carborator already. I will be giving her a really good bath and then making room in the garage for it.
Was Ironic I read this post then talked to the service tech today. Thanks for the great info!!!!!
