Maintain your Petrol engines on lawn mowers and garden machinery

Every spring it can be the same old thing. The grass is growing and of course your mower will not start.

I was given a good tip by a mechanic and that was before you store your mower away for the winter. Empty the petrol (Gas) tank and then run the mower until it stops. All the petrol (gas) will be used and not clog the system up in the spring. Apparently old unleaded fuel will solidify over winter and clog up the carburetor.
