Preparing The Engine
For engines stored over 30 days:
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor
parts, run engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a
gasoline additive to the gas in the tank. If you use a gas
additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the
additive through the carburetor.
• An oil change is not required but if you desire to change the
oil then change while the engine is warm.
