Question: When I'm done mowing in fall, what lawnmower care do you advise?
Answer: When the lawnmowing season is over in fall, empty the gas tank by allowing the lawnmower run until its gas tank is empty. Leave the lawnmower's tank empty until spring comes. You'll be glad that you did, next spring, when you go to start up the lawnmower again for another season of mowing. When old gas lies around in the lawnmower all winter, it becomes gummy. At the same time, drain oil tank and refill with fresh oil.
