Your engine needs basic maintenance in order to run efficiently:
- Oil: We recommend that your engine oil and transmission fluid be changed a minimum of once per year or more often depending on manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Fuel: Dirt and water are the most common factors that can cause problems with your engine’s fuel system because clean fuel is a necessity for proper engine operation. Fuel filters, fuel lines, and siphon valves need to be checked on a regular basis. Fuel filter should be changed at least once per year.
- Air: Your engine needs lots of air to run. Regular servicing of the air intake system including the flame arrester, carburetor, and filters are essential to effective operation of your engine.
- Cooling: Proper cooling of your engine is mandatory. Components to maintain and inspect include: engine coolant condition, sea strainers, water pumps, impellers, heat exchangers, oil coolers, hoses, exhaust manifolds/risers, and other related items that can adversely affect adequate cooling capabilities.
- Other: Depending on your engine type, regular maintenance items may include: injectors, spark plugs, belts, ignition components, zincs, flame arrestors, air filters, shaft alignment, valve adjustments, and other basic maintenance as needed.
