Engine Preparation

Change the engine oil (see page

).

Pour a tablespoon (5

10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

Remove the spark plug (see page

).

Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.

Reinstall the spark plug.

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. Return the starter grip
gently.
