I've heard from a friend that he would prep his old Lotus race car for the 
winter by pouring some transmission oil into the carb during the last few 
breaths of the running car before shutting it down for the winter. 
Apparently he said tranmission oil burns off much easier than motor oil once 
restarted again, and provides a good layer of lubrication/protection for the 
carb and the cylinders during the long NY winter.  Anyone heard of this?
