Won’t start, won’t crank

[Armyvet25]

Cold starts and warm up periods are where most engine wear occurs.
If you're not driving it you just idle the thing until it gets warm doing more harm than good.
Likely filling up the exhaust system with moisture as well.

Mine get driven as late as possible driven right before storage and put away at operating temperature.
Cap off the carb and exhaust openings, lift the negative cable and sit for 5 months or more.

Starting periodically over the winter in the northern climate is not a good idea. I have a couple videos of them running as a fix for the winter months.

Knew you were going to say that....
Sorry, gotta disagree. I understand the whole starting not driving and moisture issue. But I believe sitting without starting is more detrimental to the engines and trans than sitting. I believe you should start it and bring it to operating temperature, and place trans in neutral while running to circulate the fluid in it as well. Operating temps burn off most of the moisture, and the starting wear issue...well if in warmer climate it would be started and driven anyway. I also move mine in the driveway a little periodically if I don't want to street drive it, just to keep other soft components soft and moving, bushings shocks etc.
Notice I said "I believe" as not to offend saying my way and your wrong type of comment. The only exception might be stored in a temperature controlled environment in lieu of outside climate changes.
