FUEL SYSTEM
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in gum deposits in the system.
These deposits can damage the carburetor
and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent
deposits from forming in the fuel system
during storage by adding a quality fuel
stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the
recommended mix ratio found on the fuel
stabilizer container.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER store the engine with
fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with
potential sources of ignition.
Add Fuel Stabilizer
1. Turn the fuel valve off while engine is
running and allow the engine to run until
it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins
surging to avoid engine damage.
2. Add fuel stabilizer, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Turn fuel valve on after adding fuel
stabilizer.
4. Restart engine.
5. Run the engine outdoors for 5 minutes to
be sure that treated gasoline has
replaced the untreated gasoline in the
carburetor.
