put fuel stabilzer in your tank and fill the tank the rest of the way. run the ski for a minute to get stabilized fuel into the system.

put rv antifreeze into the cooling system with a flush kit while turning it over.

pull the spark plugs and spray engine fogger down the holes while turning it over a couple times. re-insert plugs.

pull the battery, make sure everything is lubed.

you're done.

yeah, you can get them at most powersports places. if you can't find one, you can usually use a radiator splice-in flush kit that can be found at most any auto parts store. just be sure to use either an RV antifreeze or any environmentally friendly antifreeze... as you will be putting it into the water the first time you fire it up.

if you're going to be pulling the tank, i'd just put in enough fuel to make sure the system gets fed plenty of stabilized fuel. the only reason i reccomend a full tank is to eliminate as much air in the tank as possible to prevent condensation. but if you're pulling the tank, it doesn't matter.

I think it has about half tank (4-5 gallons ) left in it from the season, i will just treat that, run the gas through for a little bit, then syphon it out into my jet ski gas cans.
