Hi all-
This will be my first year winterizing a fresh water cooled Universal 5411. The engine has run well all summer and I'd like to get a sense of what I can do by myself thereby avoiding the yard labor cost this winter. I'm pretty handy but engine work will be new to me so if anyone can give me a basic sense of what needs to be done I can research the details myself. I have the manual for the engine downloaded but what I'm looking for is a basic rundown and if there is any reason a yard mechanic will be required to perform the tasks.
Thanks,
Alex K
