When I parked up the RB I put a couple of squirts of ATF through each of the spark plug holes (as I do a couple of times each year), and I followed the LS advice with an egg-cup or two of ATF mixed in with the fuel.

I was planning to waken the RB from its slumbers this afternoon, I hope my neighbours don't think I've acquired a Wartburg 2 stroke!

Remove the plugs and put some rag over the plug holes and spin it over to eject the ATF from the bores and you shouldn't be sending smoke signals when you start the RB Alan!
