    Preferred method for storing Lawn-Boy (2-Cycle) during off season?

    In the past I've let it run out of gas and then did the oil in spark plug hole method, but since I started using Seafoam (stabilizes fuel for up to two years) a few weeks ago I'm wondering if just leaving it be for the winter would be a better method (I know it would be easier).
