De winterizing

[-V-]

every time i ask someone they say i do not. Unless you count the one that is IN the fuel pump IN the tank. But as everyone else has said, and with me also looking, I do not have an external fuel pump.

Can you get at it easily - I would change it if it wasn't changed in awhile...

I can get to it fairly easy, how hard is it once i get out the screws that hold it in?

If you have A/C delco plug #MR43LTS, they should be changed every 100 hours. If you have the newer Platinum/Iridium plug by AC, they don't need changing but every 4-5 years. Change your engine oil and filter(this should be done during winterizing), grease steering system, replace impeller, check battery connections and clean(make sure to check the battery cable where it connects to the starter as they are loose here alot), tighten all hose clamps. Start up with water attached and verify oil pressure, volts, etc... look in engine compartment and make sure no water is coming from cooling system...go have fun
