STORAGE
Engines stored over 30 days need special attention.
[1] To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts:

a) if fuel tank contains oxygenated or reformulated

gasoline (gasoline blended with an alcohol or an

ether), run engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or b) if

fuel tank contains gasoline, either run engine until it

stops from lack of fuel, or add a gasoline additive to the

gas in the tank. (See parts list. Single – use pouches of

gas additive are available from your service dealer.) If

you use a gas additive, run the engine for several

minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.

Then, engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.

[2] While engine is still warm, change oil.
[3] Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 oz. (15 ml) of

engine oil into cylinder. Replace spark plug and crank

slowly to distribute oil.
