Suggestions that I have used to be successful with my 147....

-Biggest CCA battery you can find that fits under the hood.
-Put it on a trickle charger 12-24 hrs before you anticipate needing to use it.
-10W-30 oil
-Tight and clean electrical connections
-Magnetic heater under the rear end


All of those together I haven't had an issue for years. Also keep it inside if you can.
