LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)
In case the engine has to be stored for a long time
(for example at the end of the season), a few pre -
cautions are needed to help the future start-up.
a) To prevent the formation of deposits inside the
tank, empty it of fuel by unscrewing the carbu -
rettor float chamber plug (1) and collecting all
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) Remove 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.
