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

I prefer draining and running it dry. You don't want the gas that is still
in the carburator to gum up. It won't run very long if you do a good job of
draining the tank. I then pull the plug and squirt a little oil into the
cylinder, and then turn it over a couple times to coat the inside.

Same thing for my snow blower where I consider it even more important to get
all the gas out before a long hot summer.
