• Clean debris from the engine's surface.
• Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a proper receptacle
for storage.
• Disconnect the spark plug lead and cover the end with
insulating tape. Place the lead where it cannot come in
contact with the spark plug or the equipment the engine is
mounted on.
• Remove the spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of oil into the
spark plug hole.
• Pull starter rope slowly 8 to 10 times to properly coat the
cylinder bore and piston for storage. Replace spark plug and
tighten. Any residual oil will burn off in subsequent starts. The
muffler may emit white smoke.
• Store this engine in the horizontal position with the spark
plug up. Do not store or transport with the spark plug down.
Storing or transporting with the spark plug down will result in
hard starting and/or engine smoking.
STORING ENGINE WITH FUEL
1. If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline
vapour ignition.
1.1 Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace,
water heater or clothes dryer.
1.2 Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
1.3 Avoid any area where power tools are operated.
2. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, as this
promotes rust and corrosion.
3. Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or
oil leakage.
