I drain the tank and then run the engines dry every year regardless if it is 2 stroke or 4 stroke. I never leave fuel in them. Also I only run ethanol free 2 cycle gas mix in my 2 strokes. This method has never let me down and all of my equipment, which includes 3 mowers, chainsaw, chipper.shredder, 2 tillers, trimmer and blower always start when I need them again.

I have a Lawnboy 2 stroke, mix ratio is 32:1, I use this same gas in all of my 2 stroke equipment, weed eater, leaf blower, etc., At the end of the season I just leave the gas mix in the equipment. I do not run the tank dry, I never have any problem starting the equipment in the spring. I believe that the oil in the 2 cycle mix helps prevent gum from forming during the off season. Just my two cents.

Put approximately one ounce per gallon of fuel in with your normal mix. We go on the heavier side most times. Then we run the equipment dry for storage.

Thumbs up. Pretty much how I learned to evacuate the fuel from a machine that wont be used for awhile. Not sure if it's necessary, but an old time thing I'd add was to pull the spark plug and pour a cap-full/teaspoon of 2 cycle oil into the cylinder and crank it over a good dozen times. A winter can turn into a year or several years before you know it. One more thing; when in a humid climate, toss a silicone moisture absorbing pack (that comes in the box with your new boots, shoes, electronic gizmo...) into your chainsaw case when storing away.

Steve - I don't know whether you read new comments on old videos but it's winterizing time of year and a great time to try an experiment. Pick a piece of two stroke equipment and put some Bottled ethanol-free fuel in it like TruFuel. I don't want you to use best practice, I want you to be sloppy. You should fill it to the top so there's no air in the tank deteriorating the fuel but I want you to fill it only halfway. A quarter way if you want. Just run it enough so that the fuel gets through the system and then leave it until spring. No exercising it. Just leave it and see how she starts come springtime. I think it'll start just fine and may turn you into a convert.

Steve - Great vid. Especially the last step telling folks to choke it again and again. The carb is never completely dry on that first "die off". By constantly choking and cranking you assure it's dry, dry, dry. I do exactly as you just showed here. But I add one final step. Lemme know what you think: Step 6 - Throw a splash of premixed TrueFuel (the red can) or any other equivalent, engineered, ethanol-free fuel in the tank. Start her up one last time and get all that super high quality fuel flowing through the carb. Let her run dry in the same fashion as in prior step. This way you know the very last thing that flowed through that engine was the absolute highest quality fuel - and most importantly - Ethanol free. Thoughts?

Steve, I winterize my weed eater but I never winterize my blower or at least a few of my chainsaws. I move my chainsaws in and out of storage condition during the year. I never put any piece of two cycle or four cycle equipment into storage condition with any gas in the tank. I run them empty of gas (2 cycle) or shut off the fuel and run the carburetor dry( 4 cycly). I add fuel stabilizer in all gas, usually Briggs & Stratton's AFT fuel stabilizer. My normal formula is 1 ounce per gallon of premium, non-ethanol gas. I do not run ethanol gas in anything and I repeat anything, except my vehicles. I never rev up a two cycle engine when I am running it empty of gas, because it might run short of lubrication. I just let them idle until empty. My two cycle stuff comes out of storage quite easily. However they do smoke, slightly, because I add 1/2 ounce of Seafoam to the empty tank before I add any gas to it. The Seafoam will get rid of any varnish or gum created during its time in storage condition.

good advice but ONLY if you use non ethanol gasoline. if you use ethanol blend do the second option of emptying the gas out. 1)first off if you get ethanol blend it only has about a 20 day shelf life before phase seperation begins. 2)just because you bought it today well how long has it been in the tank at the gas station??? you really dont know unless you run the gas station and they hardly ever run out they top off so some of that gas may be lord only knows how old. i prefer the dump and run dry- never had a problem. also its a great time to clean it check the filters etc so next time you need it its a gas-n-go

I stabilize the gas with every can. Also I spray fogging oil into the cylinder, and get new spark plug after the first use next spring.

I always use Shell 93 hi-test octane fuel with stablizer in the mix. I belive the 93 octane fuel is ethanol free. I empty the fuel tank and start the engine to clesr the carburetor after each use to make sure there isn't any fuel left in the engine. Its a bit of a pain but it beats struggling to start the engine the next time I use the equipment. The only piece that gives me some issues is the chain saw because it doesn't have a primer bulb and it takes quite a few pulls of the engine to work the fuel up to the carburetor.
