(3) Take the rubber plug off the cover of the rocker shaft and put about 2cc of lubricant into
it and put the plug back in place. The figure below shows where to access the plug.
(4) For recoil starting engines, push the decompression lever down and pull the recoil
starter two or three times. This pushes all the excess intake mixture out of the
combustion chamber.
(5) For engines that come with an electric starter, hold down the decompression lever and
turn the start key switch to the start position. Let the engine rotate for about two to three
seconds. Once again, this pushes all the excess intake mixture out of the combustion
chamber.
(6) Now pull the decompression lever up and pull on the recoil starter slowly until you feel
resistance. The resistance point occurs on the compression stroke where the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. It is also the point that will prevent moisture from entering the
chamber to cause rust.
(7) Finally, clean excess oils from the engine and put the engine in a nice dry place.
