STORAGE
For long-term storage of the water pump, empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage container.
Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return
hose. Perform all regular maintenance procedures and any needed repairs. Remove the spark
plug and squirt a very small amount of oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter grip once.
CAUTION:
Oil may squirt out of the spark plug opening
while pulling the starter cord. Protect your eyes and
keep your face away from the spark plug opening.
Slowly pull the starter cord to bring the piston to the top
of the cylinder (TDC). Reinstall the spark plug. Clean
the water pump interior thoroughly, remove all remain
ing moisture, and then store in a dry place away from
excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
