all  regular  maintenance  procedures  and  needed  repairs.  Empty  the 

fuel  tank.  Disconnect  the  fuel-return  tube  from  the  carburetor, 

then  continue  to  pump  the  primer  bulb  until  fuel  stops 

discharging  from  the  fuel-return  fitting. Start  the  engine  and 

allow  it  to  run  until  it  stops.  Pull  the  starter  cord  a  few 

times  to  remove  any  excess  fuel  from  the  engine.  Remove  the
