Picked up some manuals and brochures just recently and found this interesting article.

Which made me wonder as when I'm turning my 2 strokes off and packing them away I always turn the fuel tap off.As to stop the fuel from sitting in the fuel bowl.Now I guess for the collection mowers this is properly a good idea as most only run once a year.So not only is the carby empty but I also drain the tanks as well.
Now during the mower season up here in Brisbane it can get quite warm (Or hot) so fuel even in a fuel container evaporates,so I keep my fuel in a working fridge.So in the carby of a mower no change from stopping that.
Now I know it talks about lubrication,but I from time to time have pulled these motors (that I have stopped via the tap)apart to fix something,and I have always found oil in the engine where there should be oil.
It just confuses me now as whether I'm doing the right thing or not.
Am I doing the wrong thing?
Am I now storing these engines incorrectly?
Any suggestions would be great.
What do you all do?

Here for a good time,not a long time.
