i'm not sure why you wouldn't just do the bucket method; run it up to operating temp where you know the thermostat is open, then switch from the hose to the pink antifreeze in the same bucket while the engine is running. this makes sure the AF gets everywhere it needs to be. once it's got 1/2 gallon left, fog the carb until the motor stalls and you're good to go. i've been doing this in the cold CT winters for 6 years now with no issues.
before: put stabil or startron in the gas tank, fill the tank full of gas. run to temperature, then change the oil with cheap 5w/30 and your normal filter. then do the winterizing method above.
after: pull batteries, loosen belt tensioner so both belts are slack, pour some of the excess pink antifreeze in the bilge since most of ours don't get all the water out via bilge pump.
spring time: replace spark plugs, tension belts, install batteries. start motor and after everything checks out, change oil with your normal oil.
