10. POST-RUN DRIP JOB

[myRC]

A drop in the cylinder, a drop in the carb, give the flywheel a spin, and your engine is safe.

Hopefully, you already know to drip some after-run oil into your engine's glow-plug hole when you've finished running for the day to keep the piston and sleeve happy (you can use RC-specific stuff or good ol' Marvel Mystery Oil). But what about the crankshaft? A drop or two in the carburetor opening will lube the shaft, prevent corrosion and extend engine life.
