See safety items below!

Always refer to your own owner’s and service manual!

Safety First! Make sure gas valve is closed and all gas is drained from lines in a safe manner away from all heat sources (garage heater and incandescent bulbs). Ideally entire system is drained or ran dry.

Make sure motor is secure and cannot tip over and make sure trim tilt is locked

Motor and oil gets hot! Make sure motor is cool before doing any maintenance

Inspect all gas lines and carb for gas leaks after reinstalling

If you have an electric start, unhook it before working

Work in well ventilated area

Prop edges can be sharp, wear gloves.. Lesson learned!

Things pop off and fly, good idea to wear glasses.

Oil is slick
