holes.
3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Rein-
stall the caps.
5. Turn the engine over several times (using the recoil starter, if
equipped). Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring
lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.
7. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine
until it stops.
