2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
4. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
5. Reinstall the spark plugs.
6. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture cannot
enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the
hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage location, away from any appliance
that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any location
with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because humidity increases rust and
corrosion.
Ensure that all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, in order to minimize the possibility of
fuel leakage.
Position the equipment so the engine is level. Tilting the machine can cause fuel or oil leakage.
Cover the engine and exhaust system to prevent from dust. Notice that a hot engine and
exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A
nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.
Preparing the machine after a long term storage
Check your engine as described in the maintenance chapter.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a
container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage
preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
Period of storage compared to last usage.
Less than 1-month
No special preparation is required.
1 to 2 months
Fill with fresh gasoline and add a gasoline conditioner.
