tank, empty it of fuel by unscrewing the carbu-

the fuel in a suitable container. At the end of
the operation remember to screw the plug (1)
back on and fully tighten it.
b) R emove the spark plug and pour about 3 cl
of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole,
then, having blocked the hole with a rag, run
the starter motor briefly to turn the engine for
a few revs and distribute the oil over the inner
surface of the cylinder. Finally replace the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap.
