"Jeff.... Preventative mainten

"Jeff.... Preventative maintenance in your case would simply be to run your engine using a flushette (ear muffs) on a hose (have that water on full blast), and run your engine at least every other week for about 15 minutes. Use varying rpms from time to time during this 15 minute period. This will keep the fuel mixture flowing through the carburetors and other areas of the fuel system and will prevent a situation of carburetor gumming/fouling, etc from reoccurring.

Keep a close watch on the flushette as they have been know to move off the water intake, and never walk away from your engine when it's running on a flushette.
