Engine Maintenance
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions may develop which will cause an icing condition in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough, lose power and may stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air from the engine over the carburetor area. NOTE: Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for service and main- tenance of the engine.
