STORAGE

Engines stored over 30 days need special attention.

[1]To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts:

a)if fuel tank contains oxygenated or reformulated gasoline (gasoline blended with an alcohol or an ether), run engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or b) if fuel tank contains gasoline, either run engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or add a gasoline additive to the gas in the tank. (See parts list. Single – use pouches of gas additive are available from your service dealer.) If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor. Then, engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
