I have an unheated garage up here in northern vermont that I store my 211-5 in. Is there anything I should do to ensure now problems and easy start up when I need to use it?

Thanks

Will that Dipstick heater work on a small engine like these. It says for a truck or car.

If you got the dipstick tube, it would work.. The hole is big enough.
