1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pour 1 tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder.
3. Crank the engine several times by pulling on
the starter rope.
4. Reinstall the spark plug.

felt. At this point the piston is coming up on its
compression stroke and both the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in
this position will help protect it from internal
corrosion.

gasoline into a suitable container and fill with
fresh gasoline before starting.
