Just an reminder with all this cold weather coming down on those who aren't accustomed to it, be sure to drain those water cooled mufflers! I don't know what would happen if they were left to freeze, there usually isn't much in them after shut down, but it's better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks for the reminder.
Should I refill the oil after draining or wait until Spring?
Also, keeping the Lithium batteries in the basement at 55-60 degrees OK?

-2F with 50 mph gusts today...

Good thing you don't have any rain in your forecast the next few days, it could have been snow with those temps.

If you're going the change the oil now, it would be good to warm it up before draining. Then fill with fresh and run it for a few minutes and it's ready. Store with oil full is fine. Lithium is fine in your basement. It's gusty today, only 15-20 mph here and 39°, wind chill feels like 20. Will get to 18 by morning. Not a record for here, but it is very rare. Only a few times has it gone that low that I've seen. I'd prefer 120.... lol
