The Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine
performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that
purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and
carburetor.
5.1.3 Adding A Fuel Stabilizer To Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially
filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a
container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
a) Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
b) After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure
that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
c) Stop the engine.
5.1.4 Draining The Fuel Tank And Carburetor
a) Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor and use a funnel to
avoid spilling fuel.
b) Remove the carburetor drain bolt and sealing washer, and then move the fuel
valve lever to the ON position.
c) After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the drain bolt and sealing
washer. Tighten them securely.
