4. Spark plug and engine
a. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder.
b. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil and then reinstall the
spark plug.
b. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming
up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion.
n Recharge the battery once a month while storing.
Fuel Treatment and Exercising the Generator
Any small engine is very susceptible to fuel varnishing. Fuel systems have very small
orifices and passageways which can easily become clogged by fuel residue that
takes the form of gum and varnish. This can lead to hard starting and rough running
and possibly cause the engine not to start at all. As EPA regulations dictate no kits
available to renew a carburetor, carburetor replacement will be necessary. Fuel
preservatives are readily available at leading RV and marine dealers. Regularly add
a fuel preservative to the generator fuel tank or fuel supply. Drain the carburetor bowl
prior to any storage period longer than 30 days.
It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the
accumulation of varnish or sludge in the fuel system and also remove moisture from
the generator windings. Additionally, it will lubricate the engine seals, other moving
components, and keep the battery charged. Exercise the generator by running it with
at least 50% load for 2 hours every month.
