One word of caution from personal experience. Make sure you got ALL of the old gas out of the tank first. I THOUGHT I had it all out, found out I was wrong when the fresh gas released enough of the old varnish to stick two of the valves shut after I turned it off & bent two pushrods the next time I tried to fire it up. Important lesson learned.
