Cap off the intake and exhaust. I buy a variety of sizes of rubber plugs that plumbers use.

I see a lot of photos of rodent remains on the cooling fins of the cylinders. I wonder if the critters are sneaking in the fan thru the cooling ducts. It seems to me that you could create a cover that you slip over the engine fan for the winter.

The other thing I hear is that it’s wise to leave the engine lid open as the critters tend to seek out dark, hidden spots.
