Instructions

                        Mount the engine on its
                        . Connect to a water hose using the
                        and to a
                        supply. With the engine in neutral
                        Ensure that everyone is clear of the and the engine is securestart the engine and check the cooling water tell tale. Leave the engine running at low throttle for 5 mins to rinse out all the salt and wash the outside thourougly . Remove
                        and with the engine still running was liberally ensuring that water is not directed into
                        .

                    Remove the
                        and spray
                        into the throat of the carb keeping the engine running

                    Disconnect the fuel hose and allow the engine to keep running until it runs out of
                        . As it starts to kick increase the throttle and pull out the choke to suck as much
                        from the carb as possible. Keep spraying
                        into the engine as it runs dry.  In the confined space under the union
                        the engine is load so it is advisable to wear .  Once the engine stops replace 

                    Using a
                        cloth pat the engine internals dry. Spray the engine and electrics with
                        . If the engine is to be left over winter remove the
                        and feed a small amount of
                        directly into the spark plug holes.  Replace
                        and tighten to the required torque.
