preference, thus preventing debris and dust
from penetrating inside.

LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)
In case the engine has to be stored for a long
time (for example at the end of the season), a
few precautions are needed to help the future
start-up.
a) To prevent the formation of deposits inside
the tank, empty it of fuel by unscrewing the
carburettor float chamber plug (1) and col-
lecting all the fuel in a suitable container. At
the end of the operation remember to screw
the plug (1) back on and fully tighten it.
b) Remove the spark plug and pour about 3 cl of
clean engine oil into the spark plug hole, then,
having blocked the hole with a rag, run the
starter motor briefly to turn the engine for a
few revs and distribute the oil over the inner
surface of the cylinder. Finally replace the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap.
