Husky makes a great saw. Both tips are good, you want to coat the cylinder walls with oil to prevent rust. I would recommend 3 improvements to any saw based on the decade I logged in BC. Yank the little piece of screen that is a spark arrestor, it often clogs up and hinders exhaust gases escaping. (Always carry a fire extinguisher) Second, give the rakers on the chain a filing to lower them and allow a deeper cut, 5-10 strokes with a flat file will do it. You want to be cutting long thin strips, not sawdust. Lastly, buy a few of the little guards that stop the chain from curling around your arm if it breaks. They are little "L" shaped pieces of aluminium that fit on the bottom of your saw that cost a couple of bucks. Sure better than uncurling that chain from your arm!!

put some sea foam in the gas, start it, then run it dry. This should keep diaphrams and fuel lines from drying out. Then take out plug, squirt a little regular engine oil in cylinder, pull over without plug, put a little more oil in the cylinder, put plug back in, pull over till rope stops. Then put it up. You probably will have to rebuild carb anyway if it sits over 2-3 years.

No . Buy fogging spray at a saw or marine supply, You spray it in the intake and it coats the bottom end along with the combustion chamber. Remember a two stroke is lubricated by the fuel/air mixture circulating thru the crankcase. Important to lube these surfaces with fogging oil too!

How often are you going to use it? Mine is out mostly in the fall/ winter. I have never had to run it dry, Oil/ gas mix stays pretty good, but if you going to keep on a shelf then fog it up.

Go to a marina and buy a can of fogging oil for boat motors. Spray into the intake when running and then shut down. Theory is insides of motor will be coated with this oil. You could also take spark plug out and spray into cylinder. Pull over once or twice without starting and you're done. Oil your chain too.
