Gosh you know, even if you have never taken it out of the box; you should still engine fog oil the machine once a year to prevent corrosion in the cylinders; most of the cylinders have something called "nikasil" it's a silicon carbide coating to help against ware, it works wonderfully to help give longevity to a "working motor" however if left they can corrode quickly.

Food for thought
