least, to water below the foot rests.

dry it if water is present.
3. Turn the fuel valve off.
4. Remove the spark plug.
5. Loosen the carburetor drain screw (1).
6. Turn the engine over several times
with electric start.
7. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or replace with a new plug.
8. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.
9. Reinstall the crankcase drain.
10. Turn the fuel valve on.

procedure.

whether you succeed in starting it or not.
