Storage
If engine is to be stored over 30 days, prepare as
follows:
1. To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts:
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.
If fuel tank contains gasoline either run
engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a
gasoline additive. If you use a gasoline
additive, run the engine for several minutes to
circulate through the carburetor. Engine and
fuel can be stored up to 24 months with
additive.
2. While engine is still warm, change oil.
3. Remove spark plugs and pour about 1 oz (30 ml)
of engine oil into each cylinder. Re-install spark
plugs and crank engine slowly to distribute oil.
4. Clean engine of surface debris, chaff or grass.
