fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is depleted and the engine stalls.

of baking soda and water (1 cup (237mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution
off batteries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the
terminals dry and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray.

into engine through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft by hand several times and then
install spark plug.
