Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended 
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, 
resulting in gum deposits in the system. 
These deposits can damage the carburetor 
and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent 
deposits from forming in the fuel system 
during storage by adding a quality fuel 
stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the 
recommended mix ratio found on the fuel 
stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to 
manufacturers’s instructions.
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after 
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the 
carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel 
tank inside of a building with potential 
sources of ignition.
