Over wintering petrol garden tools advice sought

[Mark Heptonstal]

Hello,

We have both a 4 stroke ride-on mower, and. 2 stroke combination strimmer and hedge trimmer.

What is the best thing to do with them before they are left over winter.

Drain fuel, then run until they stop? Is there any else that can be done to help?

Best regards,

Mark

This is more important for the 4 stroke engines. The two stoke have some o= il coating the parts. Definitely run the 4 stroke dry of fuel. I had the = valve stick on my snow blower because of not running it dry. Not a huge fi= x, but a pain either way. Run the engine dry and then crank it several tim= es to clear the air.
