Model 406777
Type 0128-E1
Code 030516YG (May 16, 2003)
Question 1:
I have replaced the sump cover gasket (w/ new bolts), head gaskets and rebuilt the carburetor, which is still on the workbench. I can see into the galley and notice that the push rods have very light surface rust. Should I pull them, clean them and readjust the valves or will this light surface rust wear off after a few minutes of run time? The engine is on the workbench, too.
Question 2:
Which lubricant is preferable to pour into spark plug holes prior to firing up the partially rebuilt engine?
Question 3:
Where, if any other locations, should lubricant be used at this juncture?
Thanks.

1. Yes
2. WD40
3. That will depend on how dry (oilless) the inside of the engine is. If parts are replaced inside usually an assembly lube is used before reassembly. If you just replaced sump gasket, reassembled and didnt wash away all oil inside engine you should be ok.
