Havoc has a good formula there. I prefer Mystery Oil and it is commonly available around here. (Might be due to this being farm country)

Also in the fall:

When you're ready to put it away for the winter you should disconnect the fuel line and run it till it stalls. This will clear the carburetor bowl of fuel.

If possible, dismount and drain the gas tank. (Don't need the Mystery Oil then.)

Pull the spark plug and stuff an oil damp rag into the hole (NOT all the way in, just plug the hole with some rag hanging out.) This helps to keep moisture out of the cylinder


In the spring:

Remount the tank and fill with fresh gas and a splash of Mystery Oil or Sea Foam.

Remove the rag from the spark plug hole and pull the starter 3 or 4 times.

Install a fresh plug and prime the carburetor.

It should start in just a few tugs. Biggrin
