I leave my mower out in the rain all winter. Last week I turned the mower on the side to pour out what little gasoline remained in the tank onto the concrete driveway. Then I light it on fire to burn it off.
Added some gas that also sat all winter in a sealed can, and it fired up without issue.
The cheap POS is falling apart though. The lever to engage sell-propel broke and the wire that connects to the engine kill lever also broke. Moving the throttle lever does nothing.
I'm thinking an electric might make sense for that smallish yard (30min to cut front and back). The roommates never mow though so maybe I won't bother and just pay the neighbor kid to cut it.
