FUEL SYSTEM

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system. These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container.

IMPORTANT: NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with potential sources of ignition.

Add Fuel Stabilizer

1.Turn the fuel valve off while engine is running and allow the engine to run until it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins surging to avoid engine damage.

2.Add fuel stabilizer, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

3.Turn fuel valve on after adding fuel stabilizer.

4.Re-start engine.

5.Run the engine outdoors for 5 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.

6.Slow the engine to an idle speed.

7.Repeat step 1 above.
