Default safe to start lawn mower after 7 years?

It should be fine. Lawnmowers know no time.

I have a Murray lawn mower w/ Briggs and Stratton engine, bought in
'97, used until '01. In '01 I emptied the gas and ran some gas
stabilizer through, and replaced the oil. It's been sitting in the
garage ever since. Is it safe to try to start it, if I put in fresh
oil and gas, or is it going to explode or something? Thanks.
