How Do You Winterize A 4 Stroke 140 Johnson Outboard?

Winterizing a 140 Johnson engine can be seen either as a chore or an entertaining exercise. The 140 Johnson is powerful: A four-stroke engine rather than the two-cycle engines that were its contemporaries, it doesn’t have the two-stroke’s quick holeshot (acceleration from a standing start), but it has a higher end speed, with greater staying power over a wide range of throttle settings. Its external tanking, its ready access to the fuel system, the cylinder heads and drain plugs all make the winterizing of the Johnson engine a challenging, yet pleasurable task. Add fuel stabilizer to your fuel tank before you go on your last boating trip of the season. This allows the fuel stabilizer to make its way through the entire fuel system. Fill up the tank before you haul the boat out for the last time and add more stabilizer. Locate the plug on the bottom of the oil tank. Place an oil change pan–available at automotive parts houses–beneath it. Remove the plug with a hex-head wrench to drain
