Stop the engine. 2. Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug hole, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. 3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification. 4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and reinstall the caps onto the plugs. 5. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil. 6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline. 128

Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. Follow the instruc-
tions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several
minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.
2.
Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To
access the plug hole, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small
plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.
3.
Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.

Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and rein-
stall the caps onto the plugs.

Turn the engine over several times
using electric start. Oil will be
forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cyl-
inder with a protective film of fresh oil.
