I have a 1990 12 hp Simplicity mower. I parked it 6 years ago in my unheated garage. Oil is weeping from some seals (somewhere), the battery is dead, the gas (very little) is bad obviously, and the tires are almost flat. I want to get it running and sell it. The mower had low hours and ran great when I parked it. Please tell me where to start to get this mower up and running. I know I need to flush and clean the gas tank and fuel system. Will the carb need to be rebuilt? Will the engine's seals soften up and stop weeping after the mower is running again? After changing the oil, how do I circulate the fresh oil without damaging or scoring the cylinder walls? New spark plug? I would appreciate some recommendations and advice!
Thanks in advance,
