Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Lawn mower maintenance, lawn mower maintenance, spark plug


Question
What is required to winterize a lawn mower? Gasoline should be drained, but what else?

Answer
Drain the gas, change the oil and spark plug, clean the air filter and you should be set for spring.

If you are going to use the mower in the spring it will not hurt anything if you add fuel stabilizer to fresh gas, less than 30 days old, and fill the mower with the fresh stabilized fuel.  Run the engine about 5 minutes to circulate the new stabilized fuel.

Does this help?
