Preparation of Engine for Storage
When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as follows:
1.Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.
2.Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.
3.Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.
4.Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetor for long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in carburetor. These deposits will cause engine flooding and loss of power.
5.Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous 100 hours.
6.Remove spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs, but do not reconnect plug leads.
7.Crank engine with starter at least a dozen revolutions to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve mechanism.
8.Clean exterior surface of engine. Spread a light film of oil over any exposed metal surfaces of engine that are subject to corrosion.
9.Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blower housing and muffler.
10.Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certain they are securely in place.
