True

Question 7

True or false
Fuel tank vent levers and engines switch should be left in the off position when not in use. The practice of leaving all switches in the on position (ready to go) should not be followed.

Answer 7

True
The vent lever/fuel line shut off switch to gravity fed systems such as the Honda generator should be turned to the off position after use. If this is not done, the motor will flood, contaminate the oil and cause the piston to lock up because the valve head is filled with oil and fuel.
