• The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor
without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend,
your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely
filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm
storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Gasoline will oxidize and
deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting, and it
leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. As a result, If the engine is not
used for more than one month, the fuel oil shall be drained thoroughly to prevent
deterioration of the fuel in the fuel system and carburetor.
• The failures of the fuel system or engine performance arising from improper
storage are beyond the scope of the warranty.
6.4 CLEAN SILENCER AND ENGINE
Silencer must be cleaned when the engine is cold.
a) Use a jet of compressed air to remove any debris and dirt that could cause a fire
from the silencer and its protective cover.
