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.
IMPORTANT: NEVER store the engine with 
fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with 
potential sources of ignition.
Add Fuel Stabilizer
1. Turn the fuel valve off while engine is 
running and allow the engine to run until 
it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins 
surging to avoid engine damage.
2. Add fuel stabilizer, following the 
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Turn fuel valve on after adding fuel 
stabilizer.
4. Re-start engine.
5. Run the engine outdoors for 1 minute to 
be sure that treated gasoline has 
replaced the untreated gasoline in the 
carburetor.
6. Slow the engine to an idle speed.
7. Repeat step 1.
