Long Term Storage of the Vehicle
For vehicles that will needs to be parked for more than one month,
the following steps should be taken:
* Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and the carburetor. The
Fuel system can be completely drained by running the engine
until it stalls after draining the fuel tank. This will not only
empty the carburetor of any fuel that might become “stale”
but the fuel lines as well.
* Remove spark plug. Pour 5mL clean lubricating oil into the
cylinder. Use the kick-start arm to turn the motor over several
times to evenly distribute the lubricating oil throughout the
cylinder and combustion chamber. Re-install the spark plug.
* Remove the battery, and store it in a dry, dark, indoor, climate
controlled environment. Place the battery on a trickle charger
to maintain a good charge.
* Wash the vehicle clean and dry with soft cloth or chamois.
Wax the painted surfaces, and apply a film of anti-rust oil to
the chrome surface.
1) Fill the tires with air to the specified P.S.I
2) Cover the vehicle, and park it in a dry, clean, dark
well-ventilated, place, away from any hazardous materials
such as flammables or chemical corrosives.

stored for more than 4 months, regardless of mileage
