Do you guys suggest anything more.The sled is in perfect condition(looks like new)Have a nice winter./ max

I would replace the rivets but most importain get that old gas out of the tank and clean the carbs.....we dont want any green slime in them....

I normally fill take with fuel stabilizer and leave for summer, clean carbs(and all other maintenance) but use that gas, are you saying i should drain tank and fill with new fresh gas before i start fall cleaning and set up.....

Fuel stabilizer helps to keep the crud from forming in your carbs. I always drain the old gas even with the stabilizer and put in fresh before riding. It's cheap insurance. Only took me one time of blowing up my motor to learn this lesson.

don't forget idler wheel bearings,sliders,carbides,belt,clean the power valves.

Use some Hi Temp Silicone on your Bender Can and that should solve the leaking problem.
