Possible Cause Correction

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and

carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor

ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any

appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water

heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-

producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that

promotes rust and corrosion.

Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil

leakage.

Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel

valve and fuel filler cap vent in the CLOSED or OFF position to

reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to

keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt

some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.

A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine,

promoting rust and corrosion.

Check your engine as described in the

BEFORE OPERATION

CHECKS

section of this manual (see page ).

If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with

fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be

sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and

deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15

minutes before storing or loading on the transport vehicle. A hot

engine and muffler can burn you and can ignite some materials.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the

engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility

of fuel leakage.

If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve and/or a fuel filler cap

vent valve, turn them to the CLOSED or OFF position.
