Should I leave it empty, or fill her up ???? Waiting for the next "storm" to hit...
Thank you  |
I'm no expert, and I'll cotradict myself here......
I would drain in and burn out every last drop. If I let my frigging lawn mower sit over the winter it runs like crap the next spring, even with Stabil in it.
I have a 7000 watt generator that I let sit for 8 months at a time sometimes. Starts on the first pull everytime even with 8 month old gas in it. Runs like a top too.
OR, simply leave it filled up and start it every couple of weeks....seems to work for most small engines even with old fuel in them.
Seafoam can also cure a lot of fuel related ailments in a small engine too. I know from experience.
