Maintenance and storage
Set the engine to idling speed and allow the
machine to run until the fuel remaining in the
tank and the carburettor has been fully con-
sumed.
Remove the spark plug when the machine is
cold.
Pour a spoonful of two-stroke oil (new) into
the opening for the spark plug.
Pull the starter handle several times to distri-
bute the oil in the cylinder.
Then reinsert the spark plug when the piston
is at the top dead centre position (this can be
seen through the spark plug opening when
the piston has reached the highest point in its
stroke).
