FUEL SYSTEM

Empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas

tank, start the engine and let it run un- til the fuel lines and carburetor are

empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-

opening. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to 10 times to distribute oil.

Replace spark plug with new one of recommended type and heat range.

Clean air filter.

Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam- aged, broken, or worn parts.

At the beginning of the next season,

use only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to oil ratio.
