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.
a.
Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater or clothes
dryer.
b.
Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
c.
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.
4.
Cover the engine once the engine and exhaust system are cool. Some
materials can ignite or melt if the engine and/or exhaust system is hot. Do
not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.
a.
Use a cover made from a breathable fabric to prevent rust and
corrosion.
5.
Store with gasoline that does not contain ethanol or a similar alcohol-
based fuel additive. Fuel with alcohol-based additives may phase separate
into gasoline, alcohol and water when stored for more than a few weeks.
FUEL
IMPORTANT! Avoid fuel phase separation by using premium quality fuel of at
least 89 octane.
Gasoline with ethanol or alcohol-based additives may phase separate and
deteriorate in storage. Phase separated gasoline will cause hard starting and
leave gum deposits that clog the fuel system. Phase separated fuel will contain
water that will prevent the engine from working and may damage the engine
systems. You may need to service or replace the carburetor and other fuel
system components if that gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor
without causing functional problems will vary with factors such as gasoline
blend, storage temperatures and the amount of fuel in the tank. The air in a
partially filled fuel tank will promote fuel deterioration, as will warm storage
