Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can

explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved

containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,

away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank

while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel

could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or

sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled

fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

General Recommendations

Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in

clean, approved containers. A container with a capacity

of 2 gallons or less with a pouring spout is

recommended. Such a container is easier to handle

and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.

Do not use gasoline left over from the previous season,

to minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to

insure easy starting.

Do not add oil to the gasoline.

Fuel Type

For best results use only clean, fresh, 

unleaded

gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or

higher. In countries using the Research method, it

should be 90 octane minimum.

Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less

combustion chamber deposits. Leaded gasoline may be

used in areas where unleaded is not available and

exhaust emissions are not regulated. Be aware

however, that the cylinder head will require more

frequent service.

Engine Identification Numbers

When ordering parts, or in any communication involving

an engine, always give the 

Model, Specification, and

Serial Numbers

 of the engine.

The engine identification numbers appear on a decal

(or decals) affixed to the engine shrouding. Include

letter suffixes, if there are any.

Record your engine identification numbers on the

identification label below (Figure 4) for future reference.
