|  I have heard many say on here that they had to jump start there machines and air up there tires. In my short career of racing gokarts i learned a valauable lesson!!! These smaller engines need to be turned over and ran in my opinion atleast once a weak. The oil all setteles to bottom of the case and the upper part of the engine now sits there with no oil seals dry out condensation builds up on the inside of the engine thus causing RUST!!!! i have torn down smaller engines to rebuild and have found this in the ones that just sat on shelf. It is very bad for small engines to just sit for weeks even months. Start em up and cycle the oil through the engine  Your engine and wallet will love you!!! | |

| Mine gets run every week. It's bad for anything to set around. I feel the same way about low milege older vehicles. Just setting around is bad. | |
