After each flying session:
Step 1
Fully drain the fuel from the tank.
Step 2
Start the engine and run it until the fuel is
completely run out of the engine.
Step 3
Try starting the engine three more times or until
it will no longer fire. This gets all the fuel out of
the engine.
At the end of each flying session, place several drops
(about 10) of after run oil (Evolution Engine's Blue Block
Rust Inhibitor, EVOX1000) should be applied into the
carburetor and the engine should be turned over for a
few seconds with the starter. This will prevent rust and
corrosion.
