Hello,
Will be time soon to put the Mower (basic Toro 22" self propelled) away for the season, and I am always wondering about the best way to do it.
I also have he same question when it is time to put away the Snowblower.
I guess there are a few basic options:
a. I put Stab-oil in the tank, start the engine for a few minutes.
Shut it off, and that's that. (gas stays in the Carb., I guess)
b. Same, but I close the gas valve, and let it run the Carb. dry.
If i do this, any problems with the Carb. seals degrading, as they would now be "dry"
c. Or, some other method ?
What's the consensus of all you experts as to the best technique ? (same for snowblower ?)
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
