Hello:

Thinking ahead a bit, but thought I'd ask now while I remember to do
so.
Just bought a new Toro walk behind type of lawnmower.

Is it still a good idea to remove all (I guess there would always be a
little left in the carburetor)
of the gas from the mower by running it dry for the winter ?

Or, just leave what's in it, in it ?

Or, just leave what's in in, in it, but add some fuel stabilizer ?

Thanks,
Bob

Yes.

The gas available today seems to be more stable than the stuff back in
the 60's. Leaving gas for 6 months is not likely to cause any problem
(unless it has a chance to evaporate.). I would estimate about 18 months as
a safe period.

However I generally add a little stabilizer at the end of the season and
run it dry. It does not take more than a few minutes. I would not be
worried if I forgot one year and I would expect everything to be OK.

Now my cultivator that was run dry and has not been used for three or
more years is another thing. I expect I will have a real problem getting it
going next time I want it.
