There are several things that are rather important to increase the chances of your machine starting in the spring without a severe work over by your small engine technician. Below are a list of things that need to be completed, in the order of importance (in my opinion).
1. Service your fuel system:
- A. Stabilize
your fuel and run the engine for several minutes to allow the fuel stabilizer to permeate the fuel sysem OR - B. Drain your fuel and run the engine out of gas OR
- C. Perform "A", shut off the in-line fuel shut off and then run the engine out of fuel.
2. Change the
engine oil
.
3. If your mower has a battery, disconnect the negative battery cable (or both) from the battery. Optionally, you could add a battery disconnect on the positive side and then simple turn it off. There are several of these available, however, I would recommend the "
safety switch" model. This particular one is very simple. You simple "turn" the switch off in the fall and "turn" it back on in the spring.
