Storage

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, use the following storage procedure:

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

2. Change the oil and filter while the engine is still

warm from operation. See "Change Oil and Oil

Filter" on page 9.

3. The fuel system must be completely emptied, or

the gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to

prevent deterioration. If you choose to use a

stabilizer, follow the manufacturers

recommendations, and add the correct amount for

the capacity of the fuel system. Fill the fuel tank

with clean, fresh gasoline. Run the engine for 2-3

minutes to get stabilized fuel into the carburetor.

To empty the system, run the engine until the fuel

tank and system are empty.

4. Remove the spark plug. Add one tablespoon of

engine oil into the spark plug hole. Install the plug,

but do not connect the plug lead. Crank the engine

two or three revolutions.

5. Remove the spark plug. Cover the spark plug hole

with your thumb, and turn the engine over until the

piston is at the top of its stroke. (Pressure against

thumb is greatest.) Reinstall the plug, but do not

connect the plug lead.

6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.
