After seeing this topic repeated numerous times I must comment. If you search, there will be many other threads of this nature with detailed info. I don't blame you for asking a sensible question if you have never prepared a sled for summer storage.
The previous replies detail the process well.
To answer your question:
"How do you put a snowmobile away for the summer?" You park it, shut the engine off and you are done. If it is a Polaris, you haul it to the dump.

Just wondering if there is a shelf life on fuel stabilizer. I came across a bottle of Canadian Tire fuel stabilizer that I bought about three years ago and then forgot about it so I am wondering if it is still good to use.

I put stabilizer in the fuel, run it a bit, Pull the airbox, spray engine fogger in both carbs alternately, until it stalls... Pull the plugs, spray more of that engine storage inside the chamber, rotate the crank a bit, pit plugs back in and drain the carbs.
I then set the suspension springs to the lowest setting, and prop the sled up. I would cover the machine, especially if you have a clear tank.
Oh, and if you have mice, or squirrels, put something in the tail pipe.... Friend had a nest in his exhaust.////
Also grease all the suspension zerks, and lube the linkages.:d

steel wool works great for plugging off exhaust for mice, and if you have mice, they love getting into the airbox, just put some irish spring soap bars in that area, as they don't appear to be great fans of the stuff.

With the help of the "Duck"...greased, washed, stablize fuel, and fog the engine...this is the proper way to store a sled. I'm sure lots of guys just start thier sleds every month because thats what they always did or just stablize thier fuel but I would not go down that road simply because the newer machines seem to be more problematic than the old ones I assue because the exceptional HP produced by such small engines...Then in the fall chain case oil and any seals or what ever and a set of plugs after a 10 minute ride to get the fogging oil out...The more preventive maintenence the better! BUT...I'm sure I'm gonna get slammed by the more seasoned riders on this thread! LOL!:d

No reason to get slammed.....that's the "RIGHT" way! I'm just lazy! :d
yeah no reason to slam, your post was fine. I usually take the motor apart or at least the head off in the off season and take some measurements so I don't really bother with the fogging thing very often. I just oil the cylinders and then rotate the motor by hand a few times about once a month just to keep the cylinders lubed.
I usually try and do all the maintenance in the summer though, things like the seals etc, just seems like once the snow falls the days start to go by really fast! :d I try and get as much done as early as possible so that the sleds are ready to go in Sept, and ready for riding in Dec. Suppliers seem to have lots of parts in stock in the summer, things start to get a little tight in the fall once everyone starts looking for parts. Waiting a month in July ain't no big deal, waiting a month in November is....

Just a quick question to all you summerizing pros out there; Does fuel stabilizer have a shelf life? The reason I ask is I found a conatainer of the Bombardier stabilizer in the garage and I am pretty sure it is a couple of years old. Just wondering if it is still okay to use??
