11. HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS STORING YOUR ENGINE
11.1 STORING YOUR ENGINE
11.1.1 STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble free and looking good. The following
steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine’s function and appearance, and will make
the engine easier to start when you use it again.
11.1.2 CLEANING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior
surfaces, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
CAUTION:
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner or
muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the air filter or
muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
11.1.3 FUEL
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves
gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may
need to have the carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or replaced.
