I currently have a snow blower, lawn mower, power sprayer, air blower, and weed whacker. The air blower and weed whacker use oiled gas (i.e., gas with a small amount of oil in them). The others use strictly gas. What I'd like to know is what I'm supposed to be doing to these each year. For instance, this year, I replaced the spark plug and the oil in the snow blower. I'm thinking of doing the same in every other small engine. Is there anything else I should be doing (like an air filter?). What about adding some type of gas treatment for deposit removal? I typically use gas that's been treated with gas treatment. Is this beneficial or only beneficial when "retiring" the engine for the year? (As I'm about to do with the snow blower.)
Speaking of retiring the engine, do you drain the gas and oil, or fill the tank with treated gas (and run the engine a bit to ensure the gas is through the engine)?
