1) I always shut the tank valve off and run the carb dry when I park her. Either the tank valve and/or the float valve leak. I need to figure out which one.

2) Once a year I lube her up as grease is your friend at keeping parts from not wearing out and having to buy Chinese parts.

3) The oils today are leaps and bounds better, but $40 in oil is cheaper than $4000 in an engine. I change it every summer but then again I am not putting that many miles on her unfortunately. If you went a 1000 I would not be too worried.
