This will be my first winter with my 7. Rally imports the people who rebuilt the engine told me that I have to pull the belt in the opposite direction once a month. And just use some fuel stabilizer. It will be stored in a storage unit so it will be indoors but I will be onable to use floor jacks. Is that all I really have to do? Is there anything that needs to be done to the carb?

Yep...this was just discussed a couple of weeks ago...some good info. Personally, I've never done a whole lot when storing my car. Just put a maintaining charger on the battery and try to start it a couple of times over the winter. I always have good intentions to do more, but never quite get around to it. So far, no troubles.

Marine engine fogging spray... best thing you can do for your engine (it's designed to store engines for the winter)

Used a whole can of it before I stored my FC four years ago... (yeah, it was four... damn...) and the engine still spins by hand.... (like grab the pulley with the plugs out and it just turns..... ...I think it may actually be smoother after sitting ...lol...)

And that was after sitting, plugs in, tin foiled up the intake/exhaust, for four years.... outside (ok, inside a leaky barn...)
