GENERAL
Just as your automobile needs professional mechanical mainte-
nance from time to time, so does your Craftsman engine.
Replacement of the spark plug and ignition points is made
necessary by NORMAL use.
Professional Air-Cooled Engine
Service is as close as your nearest Sears Roebuck and Co. (or
Sears Canada, Inc.) Service Center.
A yearly check-up or tune-up by Sears is a good idea to avoid
breakdowns or delay.., do it at the end of the season, then you're
ready for the next. We even prepare it for storage for you.
