    Either empty the gas or stabilize it, I stabilize it. Some will do battery tenders, I do not.

    My method for all small engine..

    Purchase fresh super unleaded fuel. Add stabilizer..either Sta-bil or Startron.

    Run the machine empty.

    Fill to the top with the mix you just made.

    Run for 5-10 minutes to circulate.

    Store.

    I learned this the hard way a long time ago, have never had any issues since. The reason I spend the extra few cents on super is there's less ethanol and junk in it. I don't run the machines off it during a run cycle, at least not the mowers since I know I'm using them regularly.

    Dropped it off at the local Firestone that I use here in Brookfield, to have my summer wheels & tires put on.

    So... Let the snow come any day now. Sorry fellas.

    Happy easter boys!

    That's why I will want it lol. I'm thinking you have a very well kept, "low mile" example, and even in another 10 yrs of driving it will be the same.
