prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such asthe
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damagethe fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
